Inspiron XPS GEN 2 + 3007WFP (compatible?)

Hi,
 
It's been a while since I've been here and I apologize if this question has been asked many times. But, is the geforce go 6800 ultra dual-link dvi-d compatible with the 3007wfp?
 
I just got this beautiful monitor but could only run 1280 x 800 on my xps gen 2. I tried googling it, but I couldn't find a definitive answer. Some say a video bios upgrade would solve the trick, while some say it's simply not compatible.
 
Can anyone help me out here? Thanks!

    Hmm.. I guess you're right, but I really had high hopes for my laptop powering the 3007wfp.. I mean I checked the specs on nvidia.com and they made the go 6800 ultra gpu capable of dual-link dvi-d output, I guess dell just somehow didn't put in that instruction into the bios..

    Sorry, that video card just isn't going to push that monitor, no matter the driver.

    I think it is the requirement of interlaced dual Graphics GPUs to push the resolution that is the limiting factor.  To my knowledge, Dell doesn't have a portable system that will push above a 24 inch wide aspect LCD.
