GGraphica Controller

[Marco Polo]

I have a Intel 82865G graphics controller on my system and I would like
to know what is the max resolution it will support. On my current 15"
TFT LCD Monitor it is set to 1024x768. I am thinking about buying a
Acer AL1916W widescreen with 1440x900 resolution. I use a Emachine
T3995 80GB hard drive and 512MB memory with Windows XP Home. Will it
work or do I have to make some kind of adjustment like a memory stick.
Thanks

I'm afraid the information here is pretty discouraging.
I do not see 1440x900 in the list. Contact Intel tech
support and see if they know of any way to get the
resolution setting you need. Perhaps a tool like Powerstrip
from entechtaiwan.com can do it ? You may have to select a
monitor with a more normal native resolution.

I see a contact page here:

In any case, do not buy a 1440x900 monitor, unless you can
find a way to get custom resolution settings working with
your computer.
