I don't get how people can have 800x600 on tv-out, if I put it at that I
cant see everything and I gotta scroll the screen with my mouse...weird,
I have a 27" tv w/geforce2 out.  Im using 640x480 for now, I have a
bored around it though.

I was wondering why the menus were slow loading... My standard
resolution is 1600x1200 and the menus take a little bit of time to come
up. But when using the tvout I have the resolution set at 800x600 and
things come up right away.

Thanks,
Greg
