What are you talking about? any _decent_ monitor can handle 70Hz...As a
matter of fact, VESA Super VGA Standard states that 'optimal resolution is
800x600 at 72Hz.'

Every single Super VGA monitor I've _ever_ owned has synced at 70Hz
fine... I've owned bad ones and good ones, and even some $75 brand new
ones. All will hit 70Hz at their max resolution.
Now, if you have one of the cheapo VGA monitors thats good for nothing but
640x480, then i can understand this...but if you have a machine worthy of
a better monitor, then why not go out and get one?
just a thought...
