<<Heh, heh, heh... Except that a 1280 screen is 1280x1024.... :-| >> Of course, but it will run fine in 1280 x 960 mode. All notebooks today have a mechnanism for expanding 640 x 480 screens to fill the available real estate, and it is acceptable for games, but not for text. But the pixel doubling will work just fine on a 1280 x 1024 panel.
