Memory is not the problem, it checks for this automatically. The card is 
not the problem. The monitor is not the problem (assuming you have 
the DXT-17 or better). Try runningXconfigurator again to generate a 
new file using the vertical rates that the monitor can handle. It's 
probably running at below what it could be running at.
