Considering the slew of netbooks, all utilize 1024x600 resolution, can this be made part of the resolution testing? I have found in most cases that the indicated widescreen fix works, but sometimes with considerable compromise. Anyhow, just a thought. |

Assuming that's the resolution for those little bitty EEE mahines, i doubt it'll be added, as gaming on those is pretty tough. Gaming on those is just not practical. Then again, I'm not a WSGF bigwig, so you never know. |

We can certainly ask people to try and test those, but we can't make it a requirement. Many people won't have that option as a native resolution in Windows. And, only NVIDIA makes it easy to add custom resolutions. So while it would be good to, it's not something we can require. |

mikeh, crazy avatar you got there. Aren't the gpus in these netbooks really weak? Seems like they are selling well so maybe in a year or two when they start getting decent powered gpus... But who knows what will be the common resolution on them then? |

Considering their portability factor... i'd be willing to sacrifice gaming performance for battery life + weight. My MSI Wind u100 can play games like Fallout 2, System Shock 2, Deus Ex etc. that generation of games still gets DR's on here. |

yea I forgot that there are LOTS of good older games that would probably work well on these gpus. |
