Hey, bt ... run the MDK2 demo, and you'll discover very quickly if your refresh rates are locked at 60Hz. The launcher in the game uses DirectX to set the video modes, and you can choose the refresh rate during a test to see if your settings are viable. If vsync is disabled in Display Properties under the OpenGL tab, and you can't break 60 FPS with this test, then the display is fixed at 60Hz for that particular resolution.
I average 150 FPS or more during an average test test at 1024x768x32, with a 100Hz refresh rate, and vsync disabled.

There's another tool on this page that claims to correct the problem for any game in Win2K and WinXP:
