At home now and I downloaded an evaluation copy of PowerStrip v3.62.

Installed PowerStrip, added a resolution of 720x576, tested it out and I must say that it absolutely rocks...

I have 2 laptops at home which are:

*** IBM ThinkPad T30 (with a ATI Mobility Radeon 7500 graphics card)

*** Toshiba Satellite 4600 (with a Trident Video Accelerator CyberBlade-XP v6.4022 graphics card)

The Toshiba has always supported a resolution of 720x568 but the IBM didn't. It does now...

This is exactly the desired effect I was trying to achieve via filters. Games that I used to have set to a resolution of 800x600 had quite a bit of "wasted" space. With a resolution of 720x572 this is much improved.

Thank you all for the advice and comments...

PS. For anybody who doesn't have a resolution of 720x576 set and is using 800x600, attached is a screen capture of each (using Superfrog as the game). Check out the difference!: great
