Ok, don't knock me, I know this is a really stupid, simple question that I shouldn't be asking.



If I buy an iBook, which is capable of 1024x768, and plugin a big fat external monitor, I still can't get any faster than 1024x768 can I? Is the resolution not dictated by the graphics card, so even with a high reslution monitor, I won't get higher than 1024x768 from an iBook? <img src="graemlins/bugeye.gif" border="0" alt="[Skeptical]" />



I have never owned a laptop before, and never used an external monitor setup, so I am allowed to ask silly questions just to make sure! Thanks in advance. <img src="graemlins/embarrassed.gif" border="0" alt="[Embarrassed]" />

    Nope. You're stuck at the iBook's maxumim resolution.
