Hi All,

I am still looking for some card able to wide mode under DOS.

RayeR, concerning your first post, I didn't answered, sorry :

- Actually 1400*1050 is not a widescreen mode, as it is 4/3.
- I am not really interested in resolutions under 1440*900
- the GT218 board may be interesting with its 1920x1200/32, but is it easy to find screen with this resolution ? 95% of today's screen are 1920*1080 or 1680*1050.
- Concerning integrated graphics, I don't really know : recently I bought a "new" gigabyte motherboard (G41M combo) , but got ugly speed when doing graphic dos programming. And MTRRLFBE did not change anything. But I should have tried VESATEST, just to see available resolutions.

But again, thanks for your answer.
