One more thing, does it matter that my video card is kind of crappy? Is it a bottleneck at all?

64MB Nvidia GeForce4 MX420.
The video card would really only be a problem if you're playing games. If you have a halfway recent computer (with say, 3 years) You'll be fine just in windows.
And about the resolution.
LCD's are rated at a certain res, (1024x768, 1280x1024, etc)
Generally running it at any other resolution causes it to look like crap.
Look at it this way, the usual resolution is:
15" 1024x768
17" 1280x1024
19" 1600x1200
Generally you won't want to go any lower than that on the resolutions, or else your letters are going to be like 2 cm high.
