Guys,
We are going to order the wide screen monitor with 19201200 resolution for one U60 in our client side, that their current graphic card is Elite3D-m6 and the higher resolution which this card supports is 12801024.
I just want to make sure wehther we are able to work with this monitor via this card or as it does not support the resolution we'll face problem.
your comments could be helpful.
Tanx

Q. How much video memory is there on the Expert3D card?

A. Expert3D has 128MB of total on-board memory with 64MB for texture mapping storage and 64MB for framebuffer display. Expert3D is capable of displaying very high resolution 3D at up to 1920 x 1200 (16:10 aspect ratio supporting Sun's 24" monitor) where before, the maximum Sun 3D resolution is 1280 x 1024. Expert3D also supports 3D stereoscopic graphics at up to 1280x1024 on Sun's new 21" FD Monitor. (Maximum stereo resolution before is 960 x 680).

Hardware based texture memory boosts performance significantly within applications requiring texture mapping (up to 10x the texture mapping acceleration of Elite3D m6). Also, Expert3D is Sun's first graphics board to support Sun's 24" display in full 3D allowing users to take full advantage of the very high resolutions possible with the 24" for displaying enhanced image details (higher dpi) and with more screen real estate to display more data on screen.
