Hi,

I have an Matrox G400 graphics card in my other computer and I have a monitor supporting 1680x1050 resolution. I cant set the resolution propelly from windows to match the screens resolution, so I thought is there a some trick to set your own custom resolution. I also tried look if I can set it from the graphics cards drivers, but with no sucsess. I tried searching from the web for some information, but I didnt find anything, so I thought if you guys know´d better.

I doubt a card with <32MB RAM will do very good on that res... If it will do it at all.

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

I'd think that 1024x768 is like the absolute maximum for that card .

If you have the same card that is in this review, then the max resolution is supposedly 2048x1536x32-bit.

Correct drivers installed? Matrox drivers are often not the easiest ones to manage...
