XP makes it slower......

[SunKing]

Hey Tycoon - does the WinXP SP1 fix the refresh rate issues that XP has. Specifically, does it restore the 'optimal' refresh rate (rather than being stuck to 60Hz)???

As far as I know this prob has been sorted out. However in the meantime check the article out below, that I found on a board:

NVRefreshTool is a utility used to fix the problem in Windows 2000/XP that sets your refresh rate to 60Hz when you play ANY game. This problem occurs whether or not you have a higher refresh rate set in your Display Properties of Windows.
