    Recommended resolutions

    The recommended resolution for my monitor is 1280x1024 If I use it I can't even read, all the stuff is so small. But it works good gaming at that resolution. So, is it ok if I use 800x600 @ 56 Mhz for desktop and 1280 x 1024 @ 60 for gaming? Will it hurt my monitor? Thanks,
