Thanks Michael,

I'll have to check with ATI on Monday because I couldnt find anything on
their website, nor on Apple site.

Hoping I didnt get that monitor for nothing (well, I did move from 15 to
17inches which was a plus).  I normally by my equipment used but this
philips monitor was a good deal, $125 after rebate

Most probably limitation of the video card (I always found the 
built-in ATI card limited on my 7600 at home and on my 9500 at work) 
or your connecting cable (pinout of the monitor could be restricting 
you).

I added a ATI Rage 128 card to my 7600 and using a HP M900 monitor 
(19" with resolutions up to 1600x1200 and 1920x1080) I have 3 
different 120 Hz rates, two 85 Hz rates, and everything else is lower 
for the recommended set (control panel option).

However, using the All set there is a 640x480-100 Hz, 800x600-100 Hz, 
and a 1024x768-100 Hz setting all of which work for my monitor.

By the way, the HP M900 is a great monitor (I bought it used and 
regularly run it at 1152x800 75 Hz) much better than the ViewSonic 
Professional Series 21" I have at work (fuzzy beyond 1024x768).
