I'm looking to hook up a 20" Apple Cinema Display to my XP desktop at the monitors native resolution of 1680x1050. I know I need the DVI-ADC apapter but I can't seem to find a card that can do the widescreen resolution.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Mike

Most newer ATI cards should support this res- you just need an application like Powerstrip to create it.

The resolution is pretty much limited just by the card's avaliable memory (from what I understand). Most (if not all) modern cards should do high resolutions fine. One thing I do find though is that Windows doesn't usually allow very high resolutions. In Windows I'm limited to 1600x1200, while in Linux I can REALLY crank it up nicely. :)

Well, it's just what resoltuions are being displayed to you. Using an app like powerstrip allows you to define custom timings, up to whatever your card will accept.
