Hi folks,
I've really been eyeing the 20" Samsung 204B LCD monitor. I'd really like to get it in the near future. However I find that my current ATI video card only rez's to 1280 x 1024. I'd like to be able to use all the real estate of the 1600 x 1200 pixel 204B LCD.
So I figure I need a new video card too. Any suggestions?
I have a Dell Poweredge 400SC server which I believe has PCI & AGP slots. I found this spec online regarding video cards: The AGP connector supports 8x, 4x AGP 3.0 add-in cards operating at 0.8v, or AGP 2.0 add-in cards operating at 1.5V. There is no support for AGP 2x operation or legacy 3.3V AGP cards. The Intel 875P (Canterwood) chipset specifically touts 8x AGP as a feature. There have also been numerous other reports that it works.
If the new video card had both analog & digital outputs that'd be really nice so I could continue to use my KVM. Other than that, I'd pretty much like a decent card that isn't too expensive but provide good colors, dynamic range etc. I don't play games or watch movies, just use it to view & edit photos.
I really don't know where to start looking since video cards are a rather specialized topic of their own.
Thanks in advance.
