    Ok, so basically I'm thinking of purchasing a 26" monitor, but my worry is that with the 8600gt on my xps m1530, it won't be able to run smooth at 1920x1200. The game I'll most likely be playing a ton of is Age of Conan, but I know for a fact I'll get trash frames at 1920x1200, so I was thinking of going down to 1280x800, and running at low-medium settings to get good frame rates. But with that said, is 1280x800 gonna look like crap on a 26" monitor?!
