Being honest

You will struggle to get anything out of that card in such a resolution other than DVD playback. Games will be painfully slow and you'll have to turn all the settings right down. I'm sure the MX440 does not support directX 9 either so that rules quite a few of the newer titles out. I'd splash an extra ?50 or so on something like a Radeon 9600/9800 XT which will throw out the polygons at a far higher rate thus enabling you to make full use of your nice new monitor.
