    Will this card... In this rig... Run this HD monitor...?

    A friend needs to know if this processor/card will run this 22" monitor:

    Processor & Memory:

    AMD Athlon™ II X2 240 Processor (2.8GHz)
    2MB Cache
    4GB DDR3 SDRAM at 1066MHz (2 x 2GB)

    Graphics & Video:

    Integrated ATI Radeon HD4200 Graphics

    Samsung P2250 22-Inch Widescreen Touch of Color LCD Monitor:
    (The 22" screen has a native 1920x1080 resolution, 300cd/m² brightness rating and 50000:1 dynamic contrast ratio for incredibly detailed pictures.
    The DVI connector supports 1080p digital video input for exceptional HD performance)

    My friend will be using this set up for old simple games and general comp use.

    Thanks for your advice.

    a bit of extra info about *which* old games he'll be playing would help - the HD4200 isn't the fastest graphics chip in the world and "old" covers a lot of games these days! 1080p is a high resolution so it really will depend on the games in question...

    pre-2005 ...games will generally be fine (although some may test this...Half Life 2 with full details and max eye candy etc. which probably struggle at 1920x1080)

    after 2005...games will generally struggle (although some will still run acceptably)

    As a massively over-simplified but generally accurate rule of thumb.
