A monitor that only works at 640x480? Are you sure? What
make and model is this 20 year old turkey?

Any 15 or 17 inch monitor made in the past several years
should run 800x600 and 1024x768 at 85 Hz or faster.

Could be a LCD. I saw a 640x480 yesterday in a catalogue. It was a 7" screen.

If so, maybe it comes with special drivers. Still, why buy
something that isn't compatible?

Do not buy a monitor that cannot do at LEAST 1024 x 758, & that'd be a
laptop.. Should do even better than 1024 x 768... Also dot pitch is
important - the smaller the better - .24 dp is pretty darned good. If it
says .25 dp, OK. Less than that, like .28 dp, is rotten.
