There aren't any modes that high in the XFree86 modepool. But, fortunately, you can make any mode you want, including goofy stuff like 1024x1024. There are many modeline generators around, including one posted to this list. See: http://www.xfree86.org/pipermail/xpert/2001-October/012070.html There are alot a bunch listed on freshmeat: http://freshmeat.net/search/?q=modeline§ion=projects Just put the new modeline in the monitor section and reference that in the "Modes" in the Section "Screen". I doubt there's much benefit to running a monitor at that high of a refresh. I don't think most people can see flicker above 85Hz. Additionally, as the frequencies get higher, things just get fuzzier, so for the most part, that statement in the montior's manual is BS. Image quality does not get better as the refresh rate goes up. Both the monitor and the video card will be taxed at their extents.
