Video card for the 'bargain' Dell widescreen monitors

["Ian Bird" <ian.bird@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all

I fell prey to bargain hunting and bought one of the Dell widescreen
monitors (1680 by 1050). It arrived in good time and doesn't seem to
have any dead pxels which I am very glad about. Anyway.........

It seems my rather outdated ATI all-in-wonder 128 Pro AGP doesn't
speak Dell in that I cannot get the native resolution to work even
with the latest drivers.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a nice cheap video card
about say 25 quid (no fans please) that will support this monitor at
its native resolution. Ironically my laptop supports it after
installing the inf supplied.

Searching retailers on the web brings up plenty of cards but no
mention of resolutions save the odd silly maximum ratings of two
thousand .... by fifteen hundred and .....

I am running Win2k and have not played a game on this machine since
getting it. It seems to be all VB, circuit design apps and Web. Very
undemanding.

Thanks

Ian
