Wow.  The early Atoms used a 945GSE chipset with gma950 video which
should handle up to 2048x1536 at 75Hz according to Intel
<http://www.intel.com/products/chipsets/gma950/index.htm>

(I've read somewhere that these chipsets were limited to 2G of RAM
whereas I said 4G was the limit.)

Perhaps if you trun off the built-in display it can get higher res.
I've heard that the widths get added.  (1600 + 1024) x 900 might be
challenging.

A 1600 x 900 x 4 frame buffer only takes 5.76MB -- not actually very
much.

Surely not the code.  That'd be sad.  But I guess that all relevant
directories could be in the cache.
