MetroX+Millennium 4MB, at least the one with 3.0.3, only supported something
silly like 65Hz in 1600x1200 mode. Does anyone know what the HIGHEST REFRESH
RATE available will be at 1600x1200 with the MetroX that shipped with 4.0,
running on the Millennium 4MB? AcceleratedX 1.2 will drive the Millennium 4MB
at 1600x1200 at 80Hz, which is great. Is the new MetroX up to snuff?
Thanks,
Mark
