Looking at the digit motherboard shootout I've decided to buy the MSI k9AGM motherboard which has an HDMI port. My sole and topmost requirement is support for a resolution of 1440x900. This b'coz I've got a 19" wide LCD a month ago & my motherboard doesn't support its native resolution due to which I'm working on 1280x1024. I don't like the stretched look and want a cheap motherboard which can solve my problem. Will this motherboard support this resolution?

You dont need to take a new mobo for that.. just take some decent graphic card..

This mobo of mine does not even have an AGP slot, so I cannot buy a graphics card. Plz tell me if the chipset will support a resolution of 1440x900
