Will Color work on an MBP 13in

Ok this may be a stupid question but it was hard to find an answer to it so I posted. I have a new MBP MC374ll/A. I want to know if I get a MiniDisplay port to DVI converter will I be able to raise my resolution to the required 1680x 1050? Let me know if anyone has done this and if it works for you.

Thanks in advance
Scott
