hi everyone.
wanted to get some insights into using a wide screen lcd.
currently my video card allows for certain set resolutions.
it does not display the option of choosing the 1680x1050 resolution option.
1)
if i plug the dell 2005fpw to my pc, will it PnP and auto show the wide aspect option?
(video card is Integrated GeForce4 MX GPU in the Shuttle XPC SN41G2)
assume connection is VGA
2)
if answer to question 1 is YES
next is, will i be able to run 1 monitor at 1680x1050 and the lcd at 1280x1024? (using both vga)
many thanks

I'm a Mac guy mostly but I think I can take a crack at this one. I'm going to assume you're running a version of Windows.
1) Yes, it should. Given a PnP monitor, Windows will generally show you the most appropriate resolution choices for your monitor at a given refresh rate. Occasionally you'll need to install a driver for the monitor but that's pretty rare these days.
2) Most likely, yes. Check this link (http://www.nvidia.com/object/feature_nview.html) for more information about the GeForce 4.

Yes, you'll be fine, on both counts.
