Club Geforce 6600 on Gigabyte nForce 3/250 m/b.
XP Pro/SP2.
Looking at TFT monitors but how do I know if this card supports widescreen
display?
Have looked in manual on the driver CD, also on Club and nVidia sites but
can't find widescreen.
Also should I buy one with DVI, VGA, or both inputs?
Is there a difference in picture quality?

Check the resolutions supported by the video card drivers. Look for
widescreen resolution like 1280 x 800 or 1440 x 900 or 1680 x 1050. The
latest nVidia drivers (v91.47) support all these and more.

DVI is typically a better picture than analog.
