And on the windows side, one can supposedly use the new ATI Catalyst 3.8 drivers to do the same on a Radeon 9800 :) Whether that's been proven or not is still up for debate the last I checked. Actually, the commentary on the ATI issue was more that you can destroy the monitor with bad refresh rates, not just start fires. Mike
