Hehe, he probably has a 19" Widescreen LCD like me

It will run ok, I think he should grab the 84.12 drivers.

Gaming is out, but Divx, Web, General use should be fine.

Should really grab something more recent, though. I bought a 128MB GF6200 AGP w/TV+DVI for $30ish from newegg for a customer. It would REALLY be worth it, as light gaming would then be possible (Enemy Territory, low/medium detail recent games @ medium res)

yes it would run, but only at 60hz and probablly 16bit color. but you can pick up a cheapo AGP card from the egg. it would run so much better.

If it's 1440x900, it's an LCD, so refresh rate does not matter. A GeForce2 will do 32-bit color at that resolution.

I'll bet a dollar this is strictly a 2D card, and another dollar that it is a PCI card.

Well the story is I have a socket A mobo that has wore out PS/2 port, that and I plan on getting me a 20.1" or bigger LCD soon and giving my GF my 19" WS. Figure instead of buying a $10-15 PS/2 to USB adapter shipped and buying a video card down the road when I give my GF my monitor I'd buy a used Asus mobo($28 shipped) with built in GF2 MX(nForce 2 IGP) so I can kill 2 birds with one stone. I just wanted to confirm it supports 1440x900. Zero gaming will be done on this system.

The current mobo with the wore out PS/2 ports is a generic mobo from a emachince with a 2000+ XP and some crappy onboard video and VIA chipset so I figured it wouldn't support 1440x900.
