Whoa

I got bored and was reading some comments on the new graphics card that I want (now at $220!).  One of them said that moving from VGA to DVI for his main monitor (the Geforce 6600GT doesn't have any VGA ports, dual DVI) gave him much more clarity and sharpness.  I realized that I had my second monitor, and old 14 incher, on the DVI port.  So I messed around a bit and eventually got the main monitor, 19", on the DVI port and the old one on the VGA port.  Well, the main monitor is a bit clearer, but I also noticed something else.  I decided to up the refresh rate, I was sitting at a nice, low, 60hz.  Whenever I went above 75hz it would bother my eyes.  But I'm at 120hz right now and I notice nothing.  Weird.  Anyway, the crazy thing is that the mouse moves MYCH faster and things are noticeably smoother.  Problem is, however, that the mouse is a litte too fast on the main monitor, but it is considerably slower on the second monitor...  Lowering the mouse speed in the control panel makes the mouse bearable on the main monitor, but kills it on the secondary monitor.  Hm..  The logical option is to lower the refresh rate, but I'll give it a while and see how it is.
