Switching resolution quickly?

Hey Everyone,

Just switched over to MAC after 10 years on Windows. I'm a website designer and I'm using a 24" imac at resolution 1920x1200. Since I design websites I need the ability to check my sites at 800x600 and 1024x768. Does anyone know of a program that can allow me to do some fast switching and see how it looks in this resolution?

Thanks,
Bill

you can put your display options on the menu bar and change it there quickly

Thanks for the quick reply. Pardon the stupid question, but how do I do that?

I literally switched over yesterday and have zero osx experience :)

Hahah, thanks for all the quick replys. It's making the transition much smoother.

I'll remember that MAC is different from Mac :)
