Hi Larry,

Long time no 'see'. How are you? The Monster 3D runs fine in 800x600
mode, and can be set to a maximum refresh rate of 120 Mhz. If your
monitor doesn't support such a high refresh rates, other options are
60, 75 and 85 Mhz. One of those refresh rates are supported by most of
today's monitors.
I myself am using the drivers that are available at www.3dfx.com and
they come with this handy utility that will let you change the
refreshrates to the above values. This utility can be accesed via a
tab in the Display applet in your control panel.
