Assuming you have the proper drivers for the lcd widescreen, it should not
be an issue. Don't expect stellar gaming performance on newer stuff running
high resolutions. There's 2 different 8500AIW cards as well...the 64Mb and
128Mb. The 64Mb version has 230/190 clockings. The 128Mb has 275/275 which
is what a full 8500 should be. That's quite a big difference.

Thanks for the info. It is the older card with 64 meg. This comp. is used
little and mostly as a TV. The monitor is on it's last leg. Was hoping to
free up a little desk space. Don't play many games on comp. anymore so
shouldn't be an issue. Most recent is unreal tourn 2004.

Used to run a 1366x768 projector off of one--worked fine.

If it is the retail ATI 64 meg it is clocked at 275 / 275. Actually the 64
meg retail was faster than the 128 meg version.
