    I'm looking into buying a zt3000 with a WUXGA screen (1920 x 1200).


    Can someone please explain in detail what your options are when you want to run an application that will switch the screen to a smaller size (ie starcraft switching the screen to 640x480), and what your options are with formating the screen size if any? I like the idea of having a huge desktop, but I'd also like have the ability to play games like starcraft on my laptop. If anyone could post screenshots, it would be most appreciated, i'm not going to be making my choice for at least a week or so more.

    Thanks [8D]

    you should be able to play starcraft fine, although why you would want only 640 x 480 you usually want the most real estate to see what is going on as much as possible. you most likely can't play at full screen bc the game is soo old but you should be able to at least do 1280x1024 or 1024 by 768
