Not really. If they are on 800 x 600, 100 Hz, that's 60 KHz or so.
Setting to 1280 x 960 at 100 Hz would be 96 KHz, almost certainly too
high for most monitors. If you see what the current horizontal scan
rate is and try to mimic that, you would be safer. For example, 60
KHz divided by 960 lines would be 62.5, so you could safely set the
rate to 60 Hz, and perhaps chance 72 or 75 Hz.
Think too about how Windows deals with this issue. It changes the
monitor setting and puts up a message saying "Is This Alright?" or
words to that effect. If you don't click "Yes, it's fine with me"
quickly enough, the monitor reverts to the previous setting.
