Bought a Viewsonic vx2035wm monitor, and I'm having a helluva time setting it at the native resolution (1680x1050). After installing all the drivers and plugging the monitor in, the largest the Display->Settings->Resolution goes is 1600x900.
In the Display->Settings->Advanced->Adapter->List all Modes I get the same response, only goes up to 1600x900.
I'm going to make a wild assumption that my graphics capabilities are just way too weak to run the necessary native resolution., but if there's a way to swing it w/o having to buy a new card I'm be all ears.
Windows XP Media Edition
2.8ghz
1gig Ram
Integrated Video Card (Intel 82945G Chipset)
If I do need a new card, yall have any suggestions? I don't game, my comp only has a 300wt power supply, and I've got 1 PCI-Express slot and 3 PCI slots available.
Yes, I'm a noob. Did some searching through the forums but couldn't find anyone brave enough to admit they were still using an integrated graphcis card.
