I also hate to disagree with David, but my 3D video card supports up
to 1600x1200 resolution.   I am using the STB Velocity 128 PCI card:
  http://www.stb.com/products/pci/v128/

I have it set at 1024x768 - High Color(16bit)   and it does not
give me a drop of problems.  Also check out STB's page on the
Winbench perfomance analysis of this card.  It blows away
Monster 3D...
