If you're interested, I can also get you the resolution stats for my website (though nerds don't visit it, so the resolutions may be lower than for the rest of us )

1024 x 768 which is native since I have a ViewSonic VG151 flat panel. I really wanted to grab my DVI cable while I was home this weekend but forgot. I just got my DVI out enabled Ti-4200 a couple of weeks ago and wanted to hook up my monitor all digital. I guess I will have to wait till I find a cable or till I can get home again.

Thats the highest I can set it with my refresh rate at 85 hz. I can go a lot higher, but I can't stand a low refresh rate.

1024x768 85hz on my 19 inch monitor
800x600 85hz on my 15 inch monitor

that's just what looks good to me. higher resolutions just make everything look tiny, IMO.

Extra pixel real estate makes a huge difference when you're doing graphical work
