no need to tweak registry. u wont go wrong choosing wide. because nowadays most games support widescreen except some lazy arse developers saying widescreen would actually be a "cheat"..cough* EA*.

so far, the some games that doesn't support WS are from EA. but BF2142 doesnt look so bad stretched a lil. you can actually change ur res using a command. i've been gaming with WS for almost a year. man, those games sure looks beautiful and natural in WS mode. 4:3 square ratio is so yesterday.

your GC might support it quite well, depends on games u play.
btw, my LCD no 1:1, but i dont think i need them now. because the games i play from FPS, RTS to racing games, all supports WS 16:10 ratio.

i forgot to add: playing CSS in WS is a plus. you can see those with the advantage of ur widescreen that those 4:3 users cant see. your view area is wider that way. I've been playing CSS for a long time using WS. and the source engine supports 16:10 no problem. i'm not sure ur GC 1950Pro difference with my card, but i've all settings on highest except HDR cos i dont like the bright surface caused by HDR. brows.gif

if you installed your graphics driver, you will get all the available resolutions. If you do not install the drivers however, you wont see high resolutions.

I thought it only displays whatever max resolution your monitor can support? Cuz i only get 1280 x 1024 on my 17" CRT.. unsure.gif

as i said, all "available" resolutions. your monitor can't go higher than 1280 means, those resolutions are not available.
