Will my NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 Ultra graphics card drive a 30" display?

I have a NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 Ultra in my G5 that I purchased 3 years ago. A colleague is selling his 30" monitor (about 2 years old) and I wanted to see if this card would let me use the monitor to it's fullest.

Will my current graphics card handle it?

Thanks ...

You will need a new graphics card with dual-link DVI.
Starting with the fastest:

ATI Radeon X800 XT 256MB (ADC, dual-link DVI)

Thank you for your help. That's what I was afraid of.
