    Intel 945GM at 1680x1050

    Just wondering if the Intel 945 graphics on a laptop can output 1680x1050. I lent my sister my 22" monitor and it wasn't on the list. If someone could tell me if the latest driver supports it or how to force it to 1680x1050, it would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    This I currently have a Delta 300W powering an AMD X2 3800(939), 7600GS, 250GB HDD, DVD burner, 1GB ram. Is it worth it to buy that PSU yes or no? I don't want other suggestions unless there cheaper and NO NEWEGG links. As it is the 7600GS runs fine at 420/800 and its an HP so no...
