what does half resolution mean in the graphics settings?

does this mean my tv will run it at 720p and not 1080p i'm lost because i'm having to reduce the graphics to that setting because i have to many mods and get CTD almost every 5-10 minutes

It means half the texture resolution on parts, your screen won't change, just the quality of the part textures or "skins"

is there a massive difference in these settings from full res to half because i can't notice anything

You should notice a somewhat drastic difference in the settings if you look at the writing on the crashed lander in the main menu.

If you're still having trouble with that, some mod packs include lower resolution textures you can install to reduce their impact. B9 is a good example, and B9's textures are all very high resolution so installing the low res textures is nearly essential if you plan on using B9 with other mods. Just B9 and NovaPunch gave me every-other-flight crash to desktops due to their RAM usage, until I switched to B9's lower res textures, and this is on a fairly high end gaming PC. Until the Unity devs release a 64 bit version of Unity for Windows, we're stuck dealing with this stone-age crap
