i still do not understand the relation between the frequency in windows and in the monitor.
when i change to a monitor which has lower frequency is the adapting-precedure the same as if its vice versa(windows has lower resolution than monitor. i always have to go in with f8(safe mode) and make the changes. do i have to increase windows-freqency to the monitor or bring the monitors higher freq. down? or can i decide?

Screwing around with the frequency settings can damage monitors. The settings for the video card should be OK on most monitors as long as the frequency isn't too low or high. 60MHz is usually safe.

Think of it like this;

You have a stero system that can out put between .05-100 watts per channel.

You would want speakers that can handle that wattage range, or exceed it.

Putting speakers on the system that are ratted below the watts output could damage the speakers.

Putting speakers on the system that are ratted above the watts leaves you room to upgrade your stereo with out haveing to replace the speakers.

The basic pricible aplies to monitors and video card settings.
