I have a PC-Chips M810DLU mobo. It comes with an integrated SIS 650/740 video chip (shared memory)
Recently I purchased a 22"W Monitor and wold like to set it to it's "native" res which is 1680 by 1050. Originally, that mode wasn't even available. I have updated the driver and not I can select it, but the screen then goes blank for a few seconds (and then come back to the old res.)
1600x1200 works, so it shouldn't be a matter of enough memory. I have also checked the refresh rate and made sure it's at 60Hz.
Any ideas? Suggestions? The mobo does not have an AGP slot, so I cannot put in a different vid card.

- no, it's an integrated chip on the mobo. The manual states that it's an SiS 650/740.

- Do you know of any PCI cards that support that resolution?

- That's one way of going around it, but I didn't want to spend any more money on this dinosaur... I can reuse the monitor with any system. What would I do with a PCI video card? At any rate, I am peeved by the fact that I get the resolution and can select it, but it blanks out.
