Thanks Porphy, that info comes handy. the only two games where i must worry over frames, is FS9, and Oblivion. While the latter is no porblem to be run in letterbox mode, with FS9 the smaller picture size may be a problem, since I use very complex cockpit modules with plents of small letters in virtual cockpit mode. A 22" widescreen is as high as a 19" 4:3, so loosing a quarter of height really makes it smaller.
On the bother hand, all other applications may benefit from a new screen, since I am not interested in new games and play very very rarely only. And if so, it is mostly Chess and CoSims.
SBP will implement a new, more detailed and I think more hardware-friendly data standard for the vehicle models when the new upgrade is released. I do not expect serious problems there anyway, since i run it with good frames. And one day, a new computer becomes mandatory anyway, this current one will not live forever.
