Every one of the 20-21 inch ws monitors I have seen are 1,680x1,050
I have an x800xl with a piv 2.6 oc to 3.4 with 2 gigs of memory ....this is an AGP card
in games like bf2 can I play the game at decent frame rates with this high of video requirements?
right now I am on a 19 lcd at 1280x1024 and running fine with most settings turned med+

right now I can't switch to new system maybe in fall. BUT I would like to upgrade the monitor.

thanks big time for info...man I see people with 2405's that are running native with 6600GTs
and this I can't believe

I think you should be fine with a x800xl. When I had my 2405, I was running games like HL2, WoW and Doom3 at 1920x1200 with a x800pro card.

Sparks-

I just played BF2 over lunch on my ATI AIW X800XT and Viewsonic VX2025wm widescreen monitor at 1680x1050. NO serious problems. There is a bit of chugging in certain spots on a map, but for the most part you can turn down the video options (~medium) to make it very playable and still look good. The widescreen makes it much more immersive, so you really won't care that much about lower texture settings or no AA.
