    Sup folks,
    I'm the proud owner of a Dell E1705 w/ GeForce 7900GS video card. I've been wanting to get a HUGE LCD for a while now, and just found the Dell 30" LCD for relatively cheap on eBay (~$1300).

    I'm wondering whether that LCD will work at its native resolution of 2560x1600 on my GeForce Go card ... I read on the nvidia specs for the card that it supports DVI-Duallink connections, but it also said something about a max resolution of just over 2000xsomethin pixel. Now, I'm not sure whether it's the max resolution over the 'internal' connection to the laptop-display - and whether I'll actually be able to run the 30" lcd off of it.

    Any hints would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Umpa
