I've just never liked 1024x768 desktops. Too small. As for ingame, resolution helps make games look slightly better, but not by as much as graphic detail settings do... well, resolution would certainly matter if you're comparing, say, 320x240 and 640x480, but 800x600 to 1024x768 is a much smaller jump.
