1 - I know this card can't support 2560x1600, but when I looked up the specs, it said it at least supported something over 2xxx by 1xxx (my memory is fuzzy on the numbers). But the OS is limiting me to 1280x800. Is this purely due to my monitor, or is there something I can do to make it try higher resolutions?


1280x800 and 2560x1600 are the resolutions the 30 inch monitors support that I have seen. Beyond that, there may be some smaller resolutions, but it's one of the big factors that has been holding me off from getting one.

If you have a video card that does 2560x1600, the video card will then always push that many pixels to the display, even when running say at 1920x1200, but it then scales it down on the video card side. This is what I have seen on both the Dell and Apple panels at least.
