    And you don't wan't to run at a non native res?

    The 3650 should still do a little better and games will look a whole lot better too... even though you'll be running new games with reduced details, and games like crysis on low details :eek:

    seriously, running games at non-native res isn't that bad.
    do you refuse to watch a DVD if it's not at 1280*800 or 1440*900?
    do you not go full screen when watching a video? it's the same idea

    I have to agree, non native res is ok (with a NVIDIA 7500LE I have no choice for modern games) but I can't stand stretching for widescreen. I always use fixed aspect scaling or I'll even hack down detail settings if it means I can boost a game up to full res (as widescreen resolutions tend not to show up on standard aspect games except the highest possible which is 1440x900 for me).
