Hi Trevarth,
The Optiplex GX 260 was outfitted with either Integrated Intel Extreme graphic or a 4x AGP video card. In either case if you try to change the resolution and 1920 X 1200 is not an option, the video card does not support that high of a resolution. If you want the higher resolution you will have to buy an AGP video card. When selecting a card, look at the specs and make sure that the higher resolution is supported. The good news is that AGP cards are not that expensive. Here are a couple site you can find video cards.

but be careful to check the specs before you order.
Hope this helps

Thank you for the reply 7Sleven. The gx260 does have the Intel extreme graphics on board. I think I will have to go down the used route as a lot of the modern cards here in the U K need at least 300 watts power supply.
Many thanks.
