The resolution you can display is a function of both the Monitor AND the video
card.
e.g. You can have a monitor that can display 1280x1024 - but a video card that
can not.
If you know the video card manufacturer and model you can go to their website and
determine the maximum resolution.
Often times, if the video card is expandable, you can add RAM and get the ability
to display in a higher resolution.
