Max Resolution of GeForce4 MX 440


does anyone know what the max resolution of this card is. I haven't been able to find an official answer and the best I've been able to get out of it is 1280x1024, has anyone done better, and if so, how?

i don't know how to determine that
i don't know the model or anything like that
i've been searching all day for a program similar to lspci to let me know what kind of display i'm dealing with especially because i have no idea what kind of display is in my other computer (laptop) which i also need to figure out the specs for
considering it's not a high end monitor and it's older the max res of the thing probably is 1280x1024 but if you know of a way to figure out what kind of monitr it is that would be just wonderful

Hi, puter.

The max resolution is determined by both your GeForce4 MX 440 and monitor.

Generally speaking, VGA adapter supports higher resolution than monitor. When you use a 15' monitor, you'd better set an 800*600 resolution. And 1024*768 for 17' one, 1280*1024 for 19' one.
