Graphics Settings Surprise need other opinions

Some say that your desktop resolution should match your games. Also, refresh rate.

I've also noticed that shadowing your game resolution with the desktop improves performance. Maybe that should be that your game resolution should not be higher than your desktop resolution.

Anybody want to try SH4 in 640 x 480 16 colors? Bet it flies!

I bought Falcon 4.0 Allied Force a while back and I read on this forum that it had been modded alot so I broke out the CD and began adding mods as it turns out after talking to others in their forums it breaks down like this: Falcon 4.0 was originally done by Microprose some modders got together and bought the rights to Falcon, modded it some and sold it on the market as Falcon 4.0 Allied Force (my version) but someone leaked some code from vanila 4.0 and other modders got hold of it and created -Falcon 4.0 Open Falcon- and yet others created -Falcon 4.0 Red Viper- so I am currently using the Red Viper mods and they are great!

What is the native resolution for SH4 and for that matter SH3? Isn't SH3 just 800x600?
