I want to get my parents an LCD for their Dell PC. The PC is using Intel Extreme onboard graphics which claims to support resolutions of:

350 MHz DAC for 1800x1440 @ 85Hz max CRT resolution or 2048x1536@60Hz max FP resolution

Everything tells me this will be fine for a 1440x900 LCD just wanted to make sure.

One more thing. I found this info about supported resolutions:
640 x 480, 16M colors (60, 72, 75, 85, 100, 120 Hz)
800 x 600, 16M colors (60, 72, 75, 85, 100, 120 Hz)
1024 x 768, 16M colors (60, 70, 75, 85, 100,120 Hz)
1152 x 864, 16M colors (60, 70, 75, 85, 100 Hz)
1280 x 1024, 16M colors (60, 75, 85, 100 Hz)
1600 x 1200, 16M colors (60 Hz)
1920 x 1440, 64K colors (60, 75 Hz)
2048 x 1536, 64K colors (60 Hz)

Does that mean widescreen is impossible for this graphics adapter?

Maybe a driver update will have added ws support, but other than that idk. Sorry I am not the man for answers...

I'm using Intel GMA3000 onboard graphics right now waiting for my 8800gts to hit my door step today. I don't have an option for 1440x900. Closest are 1400x1050 and 1600x900 or 1280x960.
