I run 1024x768 and I switch between 16bit and 32. (16bit for emulators and 32 for morrowind and other 3d games) all on a 17" monitor
Gone for good. But never say never

<sigh>

only 1024x768 for me... :(
my 15" FP won't take any higher...

As for my 19", I'd love to use it... but I've no desktop space... I guess I need a new desk or something...

1280x960 here.. Native window settings. And, actaully, I made the 3d objects and stuff smaller, I hate having those huge buldging X's, it just pisses me off..

1024 x 768 .. only thing that looks good with my 17" monitor, but I make text bigger so its more comfortable and doesnt give me a head ache trying to read things... LOL :D and I use 800 x 600 for games for best game play and faster FPS :)

chottoED, then why aren't you using the 19" instead of the 15"? What am I missing?

I believe his desk is too small.
I run 1152x864 because it looks better in Win XP than 1024x768 does. Using a 19" monitor.

Doesn't a flatpanel take up <i>less</i> space? ;) Or did you mean you don't have the money, because that I <b>can</b> see!
