So if later 1280 res board prices come down to earth, you dont need to buy a new monitor, just replace your Prodesigner with that card and you'll have higher res. Youre right that the larger size of 16" will give you larger sized characters and that is the reason you will want to pay 500 dollars more. Because your eyes will complain after a few months of use on the 14" in 1024 res. mode. It;s not worth the aggravation inspite of you thinking you are young. --Rajeev
