I never said it did depend on the processor... all I'm saying is, if a crap old machine back in '94 (486DX2/50 with a 1Meg Cirrus 5434) can handle 1024x768, then a machine of today can EASILY handle it. There's hardly been a machine made in the last 3/4 years that don't got PCI, and the smallest PCI graphics card you can get is 1Meg, and as standard most machines now ship with at least 2 or 4. So I say, if people can't handle it, it's their problem, and let the people who can just get on with it... I got a 16Meg Matrox Millennium G200 AGP... so I don't care :) John
