Hi i have just acquired a 19 inch widescreen Acer LCD monitor which has a recommended resolution setting of 1440 x 900. Unfortunately i cannot select this resolution setting in the "display properties."
I understand that the problem is with the Display Adaptor (video card??) which is undoubtedly a piece of poo, the model is SiS-651C. Can anyone advise if i am thinking along the right lines here? and if so a good CHEAP card that will support the damn resolution? - dont really want it to do anything else. Cheers |

Yeah, you probably need an independent graphics card.

No problem.
Graphics cards also come in different slots. Make sure you get the right slot for you motherboard. AGP or PCI-E. If your PC is more than a year old you probably need AGP. Dave. |
