Graphics card for 3007WFP-HC

Can anyone tell me whether the Dell-supplied graphics card in my Dimension, a 128MB ATI Radeon 9800 Graphics Card with DVI Dual Monitor Support and TV-OUT via S-Video, will support an UltraSharpTM 3007WFP-HC monitor?

    Your video card is capable of a "single link" DVI signal only, and cannot drive the 3007WFP-HC at its native resolution of 2560 x 1600 (WQXGA).

    Thank you for your reply, ronbdavis. (Davis the techie, not Davis the spy ? assuming you know the old Welsh joke about the Russian spy ;<) )
     
    I followed your link and went also to Radeon's support forum for the handbook. I've been using two monitors for some time and can see now that I've been under a misapprehension about how they worked.
     
    Although the monitor price is down, I'll have to rethink my strategy in the light of graphics card prices.
     
    Thanks again.

    I have a GX620 - and trying to connect a 3007WFP-HC monitor to the computer.  What video card do I need to purchase that will fit the GX620 in order to display in the 2560 x 1600 mode.  Right now it displays in large print!  Also is there any thing else I need.
     
    Thanks.

    Just under a year later while watching Dell's UK prices rising and falling and rising again from around £800 to £1250 I settled for a 2707WFP monitor that runs on my existing card. Excellent choice!

    Thanks for the feedback.
