Flat monitor and video card?

[archkre]

I have a Dell Dimension 8200 in which I have a Trinitron original monitor.

Now I want to switch to a Dell Ultrasharp flat monitor, do I need to change the original video card or just plug the new monitor and that's it?

Thanks a lot!

Depending of your current video card..if It can handle the resolution it'd be Ok.

I have an Apple 23" (1920*1200) ...the current Video card is a QuadroFX4500 but I've seen people using geforce at the same resolution.

 

Do you want to buy the Dell 24"?..It is pretty good monitor!!!! for the same price that I paid for my Apple I could buy two of them in Ebay

I don't think that video card can handle 1920*1200..take a look at Nvidia and check which AGP video card works for you.
