The only possibility of getting a better picture is to find a monitor driver
that works with your setup and allows you to select 70Hz which your monitor
might be capable of (might not as well!).  I've done this a couple of years
ago with Win95 and a 5 year old Viewsonic 14" that couldn't do 75Hz but gave
a steady picture at 70Hz instead of a standard wobbly 60Hz.  I actually hand
edited the .inf file to adjust the scan requency range, not for the
faint-hearted.
