It's a Nvidia GeForce FX 5500 (AGP) and the screen im getting is a Samsung 2333SW which has a native resolution of 1080 * 1920. The Specs for my video card are here, http://www.nvidia.com/page/pg_2004010944…
It says "DVI support for compatibility with next generation flat panel displays with resolutions up to and including 1600×1200" which doesn't sound good :S
But it also says "Dual RAMDACs (up to 400 MHz) for display resolutions up to and including 2048×1536 @ 85Hz" which is more than enough as my screen is about 60Hz but what is Dual RAMDACs? lol don't have a clue :S I'm going to be using the DVI port if that helps.
TY for any answers :)|||RAMDACs are RAM Digital to Analog Converters. Those are used by the graphics card to convert the digital video data in the graphics card's dedicated memory to an analog VGA signal so it can be displayed on a VGA-only monitor.
If you will be using a digital DVI connection, the RAMDACs will not be used at all (since there is no need to do digital-to-analog conversion when using digital DVI to connect to a monitor).
Hard to tell whether or not that FX5500 will work with widescreen formats. If it doesn't, you can always upgrade to an AGP card that does, like the ATI HD4650 AGP. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as…
