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. >-- >-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ >Michael F.
