I would like to know what determines the maximum resolution of a monitor. How do the horizontal and vertical scanning rates, bandwidth, and dot pitch come into play or do they? I have a Mitsubishi 1371A multi scanning monitor with the following specs: Bandwidth : 30Mhz (from a Byte review) Max Resolution: 800 X 560 (Mitsubishi spec) Horizonatal : 15.6-35Khz (Mitsubishi spec) Vertical : 45-75hz (Mitsubishi spec) Dot Pitch : 0.31mm (Mitsubishi spec) I currently have EGA and am looking to upgrade to VGA. The question I have is whether my monitor will handle 800X600 resolution of say the Paradise VGA Plus 16 card. Will I see 800X600 or not? This is a major issue in my purchase plans. I am a windows user and want the max resolution I can get with my current monitor. The 2 cards I am looking at most are : Paradise VGA Plus 16 800X600 windows driver Video 7 Fastwrite 720X540 windows driver Also could someone shed some light on the "800X600 Flicker" issue that I have heard about? What is Video 7's BBS number? Does Paradise have a BBS? Any help, hints, etc. would be greatly appreciated. Glenn Glenn Peterson Intel Corporation gpeterso@sedona.intel.com -------------------------
