Secondly, I realize that going to higher resolutions have a greater drain on
the computer system, but does it improve the quality of the image
(specifically better graphics) or just reduce the size of items like
standings during a race (ie. f2 during a race in n3).

Any help would be greatly appreciated....

I had a similar experience.  Apparently the Voodoo drivers will only allow
higher resolutions if you set the monitor correctly to something other than
unknown.

Look for an .inf file from the monitor maufacturer or change it to
another type that is similar to your montitor. Windows comes with a
lot of drivers for various montitor types. Right click desktop, select
properties, settings,advanced, montitor, change. Higher res can impact
performance, depends on the game and video card used. But, it does
reduce the size of the jaggies and makes the image look finer
detailed, again it depends on the game as to how much you need to up
the res. If it impacts the performance to the point where it is not
playable then drop the res back down.
