How do I improve my screen resolution in Windows Remote Desktop?

How do I improve my screen resolution in Windows Remote Desktop? I'm RDP'ing into a Win2K3 machine from a WinXP machine, and I cannot stand the low screen resolution I get on the Win2K3 box. Text is too large and the graphics/colors aren't very smooth. How do I improve this?

"The maximum is actually 24-bit, but it's disabled by default. It's nothing to do with the graphics card.
You can enable it by following the brief instructions listed here :
