PCI and high res?

[Mike Armstrong]

This is ugly, but, I have two PC's and one monitor. The monitor is a Dell 2005FPW , one PC I built for gaming and it rocks, the other PC was given to me, I use it for everyday stuff. Heres the ugly part, it's an e-machines T1840 with onboard graphics and NO AGP/PCI-E slots only PCI . The problem is when I use the crappier PC it's onboard graphics cant scale to the widescreen 1680x1050 native res of the Dell so everything looks stretched

Well, I would like to get a crappy (though PCI is cheap ) PCI card just good enough to allow for 1680x1050 viewing, no gaming, just everyday stuff. Any suggestion on what the minimum card specs I'll need? Thanks

If you can find an fx5700 that would be the way to go.

edit
Or if you dont want to spend any money, a tnt2 may get the job done. Supposedly supports up to 2048x1536 and are ebayable for probably $15

You can probally just google it , but I saw a line a few weeks back about a Geforce 6200 PCI card that was avaliable. It might of been avaliable through Chumbo. Check it out.
