Yeah, most games nowadays, except some sloppy console ports (*cough*Mercs 2*cough*), support 16:10 resolutions like 1680x1050. Half-Life 2, a 2004 game, even supports it and supports it with a proper FOV.

Some games like Battlefield 2, though, require some editing of some files to run at 1680x1050, though I believe the next patch for BF2 will add widescreen support.

For games that don't have 1680x1050 or widescreen resolutions, like Mercenaries 2, this is all you need.

most new games, even the free ones now support 1680x1050, and if they don't i just edit the registry so games like wc3, etc DO have my maximum resolution. in short, yes, 95% of games these days (excluding console games) can run in 1680x1050. unless the game is free/cheap, and you wouldnt want to play those games(ussually) anyway.
