    Changing monitors / same graphics card

    I currently have the nvidia 6150se graphics card and a Samsung monitor with 5:4 proportions. 1280 x 1024 is the current display size I'm using. I'm thinking of getting a 22" widescreen and hopefully use the 1680 x 1050 display size. Will the same nvidia driver (185.18.36) work? Will I have to do something to increase the number of display modes available? Currently, the top mode is 1280 x 1024.

    The current driver should work with the new monitor. Most recent monitors will automagically advise the driver of their capabilities.

      That's what I'm hoping for. Thank you.

        My new widescreen monitor came in today. The current driver was fine as you said. I love automagic and autoadjust! 8)
