Anyone know what a needed refresh rate for clear video is?

Assuming you're running Windows XP, 256 MB of RAM will contribute to the problem - Windows XP takes up almost that much sitting idle. 512 MB is a safe zone for video capture.
Did you disable all other programs on the laptop, including any anti-virus programs you might have running?
Were you capturing to an empty partition, or your main internal hard drive? That's the #1 cause of bad captures - capturing to a fragmented hard drive full of data.
Regarding the refresh rate, I'm not sure - I haven't had that problem with LCD screens in a few years, but I don't know the refresh rate of my screens off hand.
