Thanks GMan,
I really appreciate the trouble you've taken. If I hadn' t
forgotten about
asking I would have let you know. Santa brought me the
HannsG 19"
non-widescreen which runs at 1280x1024,. My video supports
that, so all is
fine. My son got the widescreen, and his card doesn't
support the 1400x900
res. For the time being, he just set it as close as
possible, and he is
happy with it.

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
