-=PCTechTalk=- Re: resolution for LCD

Jo Ann,
    After spending a lot of time trying to find the info I
need to give you 
a definitive answer, I've come to the conclusion that Dell
doesn't want me 
to know what I'm seeking.  Your PC is shown as having
support for three 
different LCD models, but it won't tell me if the mainboard
needs a BIOS 
update before it'll work.  I'm now thinking your best bet
would be to call 
Dell's Toll free # and put the question to their own people.
 If anyone 
would know or be able to get the info, it's them.

1-800-WWW-DELL

Peace,
GMan
