I used a netbook for OOTP X and I had a program that changed the resolution to the required 1024 x 768. I can't for the life of me remember what it was called though
EDIT: Astray. Figures, as soon as I post I remember it. I will say that the resolution was alittle fuzzy because the hardware wasn't ready for that high a resolution. The computer itself handled the game well enough, but after moving to a full sized laptop the speed difference was amazing. I wouldn't make the switch to the netbook unless absolutely necessary/
