What mode do you play in?

Just curious as to other people's preference, I prefer windowed personally, since I can use MSN and other program more easily at the same time.

EDIT: Damn, the back button killed my poll... any chance a moderator could add one?

Windowed, allows for MSN, easy TS access. Plus it gives me at least another 30 FPS on my PC, and keeps my laptop at around 15-20 FPS constant.

I would use full screnn, but I get the ati gamma bug if I alt-tab.

Windowed here.

also goos for msn, irc, photoshop, realplayer, explorer and the forums, plus any other stuff I need at the same time.

it caused bad shit, and heavy memory leaks.

so they removed it..

then a lot of people asked for it to be back

so the memory leak got fixed, and it came back a few pathes ago..

(only problem is the well known, loss of "spell stacks" that follow when you alt+tab)

Window mode is another example of a half assed "feature"

Try window mode in eve, or something similar, you can use the start bar without pressing start, you can click outside the window, it doesnt lag changing away from the game window.

I do both.

Windowed mode I can run WinTV at the same time and watch TV while doing whatever it is I am doing. Also if I have downtime I can read the web. I normally have sound switched off as well.

Fullscreen if I have to pay attention totally to what is going on. For example op war, or hunting people or being hunted.

Full screen unless i'm doing some hard core tradeskilling with bot my accounts. There is no way i could fight in windows mode damn screen is to small. 640x480 on a 19 inch monitor blows. I run my desktop at 1280x and NC at 1024x768 so 640x480 is to damn small.
