Not sure if this was the right forum to post this but here goes:
If you run an LCD clicking at 60hz...does the processor and ram have to work less then if you ran a CRT with a much higher Hz? such as 90Hz for instance?
The thought is that if one monitor requires less clock cycles to keep painted correctly, it would seem to follow that your processor, ram and vid graphics don't have to work as hard because it is simply going to cap out at 60 fps...

You're running Crysis at 1400x900 full settings on a monitor w/refresh rate set to 60Hz and you have another computer (identicle to #1) running Crysis at 1400x900 full settings on a monitor w/refresh rate set to 120Hz. The graphics card on the machine with the lower refresh rate is still working just as hard as the graphics card on the machine with the much higher refresh rate.
