I think that TODAY is more important to be able to provide a 16:9 
interface (so 1280 x 768 or similar) than take care of 640 x 480 
resolution!

Anyway if your game is 3d (as I seem to understand by your sentence 
about textures and LoD) and the interface is "texturized" I see no 
problem to scale it to 800x600 or 1280 x 768, isn't it?

Bye,
