From what I hear, it will only run at this resolution
and half that res (1280x800) only. It's not "multisync".

Since this monitor is DVI only, it requires dual link DVI to get
enough data transfer speed. 1920x1200x60 with reduced
blanking is about as fast as a single link (165 Mhz) DVI can 
Dual link DVI is kinda new, and cards are just starting to
become available ....
