				i called diamond tech support about this
. the problem is that the hicolor ramdac is not as fast as the regular
ramdac , and cannot support a 72Hz refresh rate in hicolor mode . if
your monitor does not support the slower ( 66Hz ? ) rate , or is not a
true multisync , it will use the 48 Hz interlaced mode instead .
