- Wups. Apologies everyone, I goofed. They do not explictely state
- they ran them at 72Hz, it was the max refresh rate I saw for the
- cards I mentioned in the table on p.204-205. It could be that they
- used 72Hz, but we just don't know for sure. They were definitly
- using 1024x768 however at 256 colors.
