    highest. a little anti aliasing / af. any reasonable resolution. 1440x900.

    if you take down the resolution a little you should add a little more anti aliasing / anisotropic filtering

    you might want to play 4:3 because the 16:10 mode just cuts off your vertical field of view, rather than extending your view horizontally.

    so i might set a custom resolution of 1200 x 900 to use all of your vertical pixels but preserve a 4:3 image so you don't get a cropped picture.

    I think he might mean video card drivers. There is quite a difference between stock and drivers from say... laptopvideo2go.com.
