I'm finding that out. There seems to be no way to override what Vista reports as "max resolution" at 1280x800. So, I can't trick it into displaying 1600by1200 or 1920by1040. Just for fun I'm going to try this with an XP machine tomorrow. Bet I can get a 1600by1200 1:1 on it.

Yes, but does the motherboard support it? I don't know who the manufacturer is, so I don't have any way (other than the apple site which doesn't exactly follow a full disclosure policy on hardware) to find out short of ordering one and sticking them in...

That's what I'd assume as well. However, I'm completely unfamiliar with any tools that will let me force that image to this monitor. I would have used Rivatuner in XP a few years ago, but I've been a bit out of touch with this stuff since then. I've got an Nvidia card and Vista 64. What can I...

Just FYI, this is on a computer running Vista 64bit

Out of curiosity, I'm trying to force a higher resolution on to a dell 3007 monitor. Let's presume I've only got a single link connection and I wanted to run a 30" monitor at 1920x1200 temporarily. Now, I know this monitor won't do that on it's own. But, if I turned off scaling in the driver and...

Yeah, I know. I'm just curious if anyone has tried it just for fun. Anand likes to pull macs apart and do things to them, and I assume other adventurous people might do the same. Just pinging to see if anyone has...

I've had some issues with Dell workstation laptops and dual-link DVI support. So, I'm toying with the idea of getting a macbook pro (17") and pulling the 2 gigs it comes with and dropping in the 8 gigs out of my Dell M6300. I'm unsure if the macbook pro will even recognize all 8 gigs. (I'd be...

That's what I was afraid of. Seriously, I can't believe I'm the only one that has had this problem. 30" LCDs aren't exactly unheard of in the architecture/construction world, and this laptop is one of the few that meets the requirements for the more demanding apps out there in the field. It just...

Right, But, I know that HP's workstation has the same limitation, but has a docking station that can support a 30" monitor. This tells me that there are possible solutions, but not a precise one. I don't know if there are express cards that provide additional graphics expansion options, or...

So, I've got a "technical" question... How exactly do the graphics ports on the back of a laptop connect to the graphics card? I believe the 3600M is an MXM card, but who knows how dell installed it... I'm asking because Dell, in their infinite wisdom, has choosen to install a graphics...
