as far as i know it's not possible because desktop is rendered by 2d engine which doesn't support any 3d engine's features like FSAA.

I think minimal (and recommended) refresh rate to CRT monitors is 85Hz.

You can always hunt for the "font anti-aliasing" option. But if you want FSAA on your desktop you gonna have to use a 3D shell (as in Jurassic Park :D)
