widescreen

I have a fairly old (not really that old, ~2-3 years) laptop, and I enjoy windower.. The laptop itself has a 17" screen, which I usually have no complaints... But Ive realized that whenever I set a game (every game Ive tried it with) to widescreen, I get a very noticable increase in lag...

Hi guys. I was lucky enough to get myself a new computer for Christmas. However, it has a wide screeen measuring 17". While I can play ffxi on it, things seem a little stretched. Can any of you recommend a resolution to use that will make it so that things aren't stretched? I've read things here...

Anyone here play on a widescreen monitor? I just ordered a 2405FPW, curious if there's anything I need to do to get FFXI running at the proper res. www.widescreengamingforum.com says that FFXI supports widescreen natively. Also, my video card is a bit old so I was hoping to run it at less...
