I remember using a program called PS/2 Rate with my old ps/2 mouse in windows 98. I could make my mouse refresh at like 200mhz and it would glide across the screen so freaking smoothly, kinda like the mouse on a macintosh. like, if I were to move it fast all over the screen, it would update so fast you couldnt see a break in them movement.

Well, in xp, is there a way to make my usb mouse as smooth as this?

If you have a ps2 mouse you can set the report speet in the device manager under "mice..." Additonal settings. You can set it to 200 reports per second not 200 MHz. I'm sure your mouse would get quite warm at 200 MHz
