According to the Canopus website at this URL:
http://www.canopuscorp.com/spectra2500/spectra2500_spec_sheet.htm

The Canopus Spectra 2500 should should be able to hit 32bit-color
Windows resolutions of:
1024x768  @ 150Hz
1280x1024 @ 120Hz
1408x1024 @ 100Hz

However the best refresh rates I can get are:
1024x768  @ 100Hz
1280x1024 @ 90Hz
1408x1024 @ 85Hz

The display control panel will not let me set any higher refresh rates
at those resolutions.  Has anyone else seen this problem?  Is there a
fix to this bug, or is the video card falsely advertised?

I doubt the problem is with my monitor.  My monitor is a Viewsonic
P815 which is capable of up to 139Hz at 1024x768 and up to 91Hz at
1600x1200.

I'm using Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 4, P2-400, Asus P2B motherboard,
256 MB RAM, a brand new Canopus Spectra 2500 AGP, latest NT4 Spectra
drivers.
