So that means that when you play Starcraft at 640x480 it gets stretched all the way across your WUXGA screen? This makes it look better?

I know this probably isn't the best thread for discussing this. I just want to make sure I understand what you mean.

screen resolution is like stocks, do you want one that will yield high in the beggining and fade towards the middle (1920x1200) or do you want constant mid-tohigh growth at a constant pace (1440x900). I opted for the later so i can play games at natice res for COUPLE years instead of a couple months. Also if you use your computer for net and social stuff, then 1920 is way to friggin high, yes you can change the dpi, but then you have distortion.

yeah its a good idea... but you cannot compare both screen... the 1900 is a GREAT screen... i was so suprise when i saw it... its as clear as a CRT... you can change resolution how you want without that much problem... i prefer playing game at low resoltion 12xx and have high graphic... and i didnt see ghost effect like slow lcd...

No you can chose to keep the same ratio so you have black bar on both side... anyway at the end everyone is different... but for me it was clear that i would play old game and emulator game... and this laptop have to last at least 4year... so big native resolution at low resolution in game...

but yeah in windows if you keep the native resolution, its very small, but with time you get used to it... if programer can use this resolution all day long, why not me?

Can someone please download speedfan or use whatever you got already, and let me know what theier hard drive temps are at idle, and then after intense gaming. MY temps are getting up to 57C! ( The hard drive). Im thinking I might have an issue here.

eleron911 · 01-17-2008, 05:38 AM

Sounds about right. Do you have a 7200 or 5400 rpm drive? I have a 5400 one and temps on high activity reach about 53-54...so no need to worry

Nah, I like stocks that sink like stones, like my AMD shares and my Sony VAIO.
