Default Re: Dell 2001fp Monitor...computer question

Just check that your computer has an AGP slot. Celerons don't always have this. Even if not, I think you could still get a PCI card. Either way, you can get AGP/PCI video cards for well under $100 (even ones that will do dual monitors). I assume that's not a problem since you are already spending $600 on the monitor.

If its fairly new (I think the 2400 is) I was looking at the case last week on their website and it appears that it has 3 PCI slots in it, you should be able to buy a card and put it in, you should be able to use that card for the resolution for that monitor, it is your monitor that limits this.
Try

Right click on desktop > Properties > Settings > Advanced > Monitor > Click "Hide modes that this monitor cannot display"

Click "Ok" then close the top window and see how far right your resolution will go, (DO NOT SET YOUR MONITOR TO ANY OF THESE SETTINGS, WHEN YOU ARE DONE, CLICK THE "X" TO CLOSE THE WINDOW AND NOT CHANGE THE SETTINGS.) This should show you how high your video card will allow resolution.
