Mac Mini & Dell UltraSharp 2405FPW - Okay Together?

Hi there. I have the Dell UltraSharp 2405FPW monitor on my PC right now (it's running via DVI at 1920x1200). If I buy a Mac Mini will I be able to use this monitor via DVI? And if so, will it run at the native 1920x1200? Will it be sluggish on the Mac Mini or is the Mini capable enough to handle this large of a display?

Thank you,
Keith

I have the Dell 2405FPW. It works great for everything that I am doing. I am running @ 1900 x 1200 using the DVI for the Mini. I am running an XP box @ 1900 x 1200 using VGA. I have never noticed any sluggishness. I admit that I haven't used it for games though.

It's somewhat sluggish with 10.4.3 when I used it. It was worse with previous versions of Tiger.
