    Also I started using 16x9 (HDTV / Cinemascope) this week and I like it a
lot.

    800x450 (AA nnd No AA and 400x225 of course) for rendering and (16/9)*x
for the camera.

    Quite a nice effect. And with all the information bars of W98 that ratio
is quite close to the useful screen in the first place. That mean much less
distortion when expanding it to full screen.

    Yes, I am hyping this ratio in several newsgroups. It has been around
since Cinemascope. It will be all TV transmissions in five (seven?) years. It
has been the HDTV design standard for over ten years.

    Advantages. The image just looks more impressive. There is more room to
work without crowding things. It takes less time to render.
