    1440x900 I think - it should be fine - I generally use a 1200/800 res on anything - anything larger than this is a little pointless in my book because you won't be able to read stuff off it and you won't be able to run many games at a resolution that high.

    Anyway thats my 2 cents

    Have
    Dell Inspiron 2500, 800 Mhz P3, 312 MB Ram, 6.5 MB Onboard Graphics

    Want
    Dell 9200, 2.0 GHz, 1024 MB Ram, 128 MB Ati Mobility Radeon 9700 Graphics

    The 1920x1200 you can switch to 1280x800 and it is workable if you want that.
    Also in Control Panel | Display | Settings | Advanced | General there is a setting DPI which you can set to 120 DPI.
    To read on small pixels see ClearType

    I haven't tried to change ClearType setting yet.
