But I'd still go a separate video card anyday, just more flexibility...

Hi Guys,

It is possible to set custom resolutions with the Intel Graphics. It's just not a straight forward process (or at least wasn't until now).

The Drivers support something called DTD's (Detailed Timing Descriptors) which you can added to the registry to provide up to five custom resolutions. Once mastered it's a very powerful feature.

I've recently been working with a guy called Archibael (the man that originally brought this to the attention of the community) and a very clever software developer to produce a utility to make the whole thing much easier to do.

Have a look at http://isnwiki.jot.com/WikiHome/Articles/111111431 for background information and http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=947830 for instructions on where to get (and how to use) the DTD Calc utility.

Hope this helps.
