check yer manual for max resolution/refresh rate

for a good 17" it should do:

100mhz at 600x600 or
85mhz at 1024x768

be carefull going too high, you CAN damage yer monitor

Ugh, a low refresh rate is the WORST thing ever. I can\'t stand anything below 75 hz (for all you n00bs out there - be sure to check that you\'re NOT running 60 Hz or anything like it - it tires the eyes a lot).
