If you scroll down to the 'Video and Display' specs, you'll see it says it will support up to QXGA which translates to 2048x1536. So it seems like you'd be 'ok', taking into account the fact that it is an integrated chipset and takes system memory for use as video memory. There's been some other folks with similar questions here recently, I do believe, you should be able to Search the forum for 845GV (or perhaps just 845) and see what turns up.
Upgrades will be limited as it looks like you only have PCI slots in that system.
Thanks.
I had actually spent quite a bit of time searching the forum here with various iterations of 845gv. I couldn't find what I was looking for. I'm glad to hear that it should work. I guess I'll try it and see. I'll assume that wide aspect is supported. I don't think the graphics memory will make much difference to me as I don't game or anything like that. Thanks again.

Here's some information on Intel's site about the chipset:
