Doesn't that make the 30fps look like 60fps, since it flickers the screen four times, instead of the current two (60Hz)?

I don't know how else to explain my view, but I try:
30fps*4x = 120Hz / 2 = 60fps (FRAPS still says 30fps of course)

That would make sense if it wasn't for the problem that it's not the monitor the governs the FPS.

The game does, taking most console ports for example, they run at 30 FPS and no object we could buy in this world could ever change that, even though the refresh rate on the monitor is better it would still just refresh an indentical frame.
