Woo, upped my res to 1024*768

I was scarred to do it in the past since I have an old monitor but I'm just taking the chance and I think it will do fine. This will go SO much better for autoCAD and even photoshop. :banana:

This site does not look bad at all in such a high res, either. The site is actually designed for 800*600 but most pages work fine in even lower.

I'm at 1024 x 768, and I really do like it! I would go higher, but my refresh rate would have to go down. :angry:

I used 800 x 600 for a long time, but now when I switch back I wonder how I went a day with it! Everything is so big. :P You have a lot more room now. :banana:

Yeah for sure. What will be hard though is when I have to use a system that's 640*480 that will be nuts, the start button will be like so huge!

I'm really liking this so far though since there's way more room for everything. Now all I need is a 19" monitor. :D I can't afford that any time soon. :lol2:

Really? I can go down to 640*480 if I want to. It's good to have for when making websites. I try to make my sites work in there, but my main goal is 800*600. Safe mode people can suffer. :P
