say that 1024 X 768 is better for your Computer?
I prefer 800 X 600 (big). Even Yahoo Mail Beta tells you they prefer is you have the 1024 X 768.
What should I do and what is better for your computer and why?

Okay, this is one of those easier questions... You should select the screen res that is best for YOU.. suggestions are wonderful, but, whatever is easier for you to see, that is what you should use.

Screen resolution is not dependent upon the computer or software in use - it's dependent upon your preference, and what the monitor you are using can display. 800 x 600 on one monitor may look fine, but on another (mine, for example), it would look overly humongous.
Applications and websites suggest resolutions to be used because that is generally what resolution their page or program was built using - and therefore, is the optimal resolution used to view it. It doesn't necessarily mean that you HAVE to switch to that resolution. Some applications automatically change your resolution when opened, then change it back when closed.

Resolution has very little to do with the size of the monitor. My parents have a 17in CRT and can barely see icons with a resolution over 800x600. Before my current setup, I had a 15' CRT that displayed better at 1024x768. I now have a 17' and a 19' LCD and my icons and such show up about the same or better using 1280 x 1024. The resolution is moreso dependent upon what the monitor can display, not the size of the monitor's viewing area.

1280 by 1024 is the best resolution for 17" monitor. 1024 by 768 is for 15" 800 by 600 is for older monitor.^^

If you run a 15" monitor at 1024x768, then all the buttons etc will be incredibly tiny and hard to use - it will also be very hard to drag the sides and corners of windows to resize them, because the "hit" zone for dragging will by very narrow. A 15" monitor is best as 800x600, and a 17" monitor is best at 1024x768 - or perhaps 1280x1024 if you have very good eyesight and delicate mouse control skill.

It is better to fit for your screen resolution
if u wanna know your screen resolution just right click on your Desktop and chose properties then click on setting tab, and there you can change it to 800*600
