>A review I found of the X800 XL AIW showed 56fps at 1600x1200 (4xAA, 16xAF)

I wouldn't be too sure :) The thing is, IF you were rendering the same image, then the extra 20% screen area wouldn't be that much of a hit....but you are normally rendering a lot more pollies due to the fact you have a wider viewing angle (if the game has been programmed correctly), as well as coping with the increase in resolution....I find the hit of going from 4:3 to 16:9 (or is it 16:10 for PCs?) to be far greater then I ever imagined it to be. Its a shame that many benchmarkers still do not benchmark widescreen resolutions.
