i play Half-Life mods like TFC and CS
800 x 600 is best because you can still read the words and it's still very good looking, any lower and it hurts the eyes, any higher and the words become unreadable

"insane3d, i lub j00!

never thought about doing 1600x1200. always just kept it at 1024x768. even with the new rig i just used my old resolution, never thought anything of it till i saw your post.

oh...my...gosh...

i never knew games could look this good. it's a complete step up from 1024x768, really puts those new consoles to shame.

1600x1200x32, 75hz (21" viewsonic is rated for 77hz, dont wanna push it), quincunux (sp?), all options on, gaming bliss

just cranked the fsb up 3 more mhz and going to stress it. then bump it up a few more until i find it's spot. then on to the video card

thanks again, i never had even thought about going higher than 1024x768. it just looks incredible. even my desktop is 1600x1200 now."

Aww...thanks. No problemo on the resolution, I really enjoy playing at the maximum resolution I can if possible. I think high resolutions are an even better option for people with larger monitors like you. I only have a 19", but it's a pretty decent FD Trinitron...a KDS AV-195TF. I really like the specs on it too. It's rated up to some insane resolution a couple of notches above 1600 x 1200 @ 75hz, and it's optimal resolution @ 1600 x 1200 is 85hz and 1280 x 1024 @ 100hz. I run my desktop @ 1280 x 1024 and my games @ 1600 x 1200. I don't have a "top of the line" vid card either, but it does the job pretty damn sweet. I have a Radeon 64mb VIVO SE, and it overclocks pretty nicely to 240/240 (480) with no extra cooling (no DDR cooling either). People are always complaining about ATI's drivers, but I have had no issues in WinXP at all. Good luck and have fun...!
