I would say, no way. But buy the monitor anyway and a new laptop later. I'm using an nvidia Ge7900 with 512 megs of ram and millions of resistors. Compare that to a tiny video chip on a motherboard, 1920x1200 resolution would bring the chip to its knees.

thanks for the input andocrates. i'm not so sure if i believe what you are saying though. afterall, it seems that dell is currently shipping new latitude d820s in native 1900x1200 resolution with integrated graphics as the default.
the chip on my latitiude d600 is an ATI Mobility Radeon 9000. do others think this resolution will bring my system to its knees?
No video cards up to the nvidia 6000 are supported, you have no dvi output, there is no way in dell your video chip is going to run that monitor properly. There was a list of approved graphics cards and I had to tell the dell salesman what my card was before he sold it to me (although he would have sold it to me anyway)
"dell is currently shipping new latitude d820s in native 1900x1200 resolution with integrated graphics as the default."
Apples and oranges, your laptop is at least 2 years old I think. However, I'll hook my dell laptop up to it tonight and tell you what happens.
