I agree - wakelogger thanks a lot for the insight - that is the kind of thing I was hoping to hear. The only other question I have is about the stuff that charliex suggested. Will it hurt my monitor to "overclock" it so to speak with the software that is on that site. In otherwords, when i run my monitor at 100 hz even though the OS would have only let me go to 85 hz, will that kill my monitor?

It would not be all bad; if this thing broke, I would go to a flat screen....
