Maximum monitor resolution for GeForce 6600

I have a Dual 2 GHz PowerPC G5 with a Nvidia GeForce 6600 graphics card with 256 MB VRAM. I currently am using a 1280 x 1024 LCD display. I will be upgrading the computer and display in the near future and was wondering what is the maximum resolution monitor that would be compatible with this graphics card? It would be useful information so I don't upgrade the monitor first and find it won't work with the card.


Thanks.


G5, Mac OS X (10.5.8)

Although the included list is nice, it is incomplete and doesn't address the capabilities of the dual link DVI port that ALL Geforce 6600 (OEM) cards have.

I suspect the list is for a PC version of the 6600.


The Apple Geforce 6600 (128 MB or 256 MB) has one single link DVI and one dual link DVI.

As such, the specs for the card are:



-Support for digital resolutions up to 1920 by 1200 pixels;

dual-link DVI ports support up to 2560 by 1600 pixels

-Support for analog resolutions up to 2048 by 1536 pixels
