I tried this. It allowed me to pick the ATI Rage 128 video card. I look up the specs for my monitor thinking that might be the problem. Dell Viewable Size: 13.8" Device Type: CRT Monitor Dimensions (WxDxH) / Weight: 14.2" x 15.6" x 14.8" / 24.7 lbs Dot Pitch: 0.28 mm (Diagonal) Max Resolution: PC: Up to 1280x1024 pixels; Mac: Up to 1024x768 pixels Max Sync Rate (V x H): 160 Hz x 70 kHz Port(s) / Connector(s) Required: 1 x 15-pin mini D-sub I chose settings close to the Horizontal and Vertical refresh rates mentioned above.
