What about if you use a monitor that is capable of displaying that high of
a resolution? Does it become CAD usable then? I am thinking of the multisync
3D by NEC, it should handle it. I use it at 1024 X 768 resolution all the
time on my Compaq with AutoCAD. But it may not be able to go down to 
15Khz. But I am sure there are some monitors out there that can handle it.
Or maybe Microway will come out with a new version of their flicker fixer.
That will boost the frequency to 31Khz or so.
