Probably because your monitor refresh rate is only at 60 Hz.  Did you also remember to load the VIA 4 in 1 drivers (if your motherboard uses a VIA chipset)?!?  This is VERY important if you didn't.  They are at www.viahardware.com  .  Forgetting to install the AGP driver will 1/2 your framerate.

Look at a recent article about drivers at www.tomshardware.com  to see just what I mean.
