Hi, I going to be getting that dell 24" widescreen monitor that runs at 1900x1200 and I'm not sure if my current PNY nvidia FX5200 ultra can support that with a good picture. I run a pretty silent machine, so I'd rather not have a video card with those annoyingly loud fans on them. I replaced the fan on my current card with the dual Zalman heat sink thing, but that was a pain in the butt and I'd rather not do that again. Are there good fanless AGP8x video card that can run that resolution well? Thanks

PS: I don't plan on playing any heavy duty FPS games on this, just some mid level games like Command & Conquer Generals, Warcraft III, Tiger Woods 2004, etc. I also do light Photoshop/imaging work on it.

System specs:
Abit AI7 mobo (no overclocking)
P4 3.2ghz Northwood@800FSB with HT
2048MB Geil DDR400 Blue Value RAM (4x512 dual channel)
PNY Nvidia 128MB FX5200 Ultra
Antec 480W NeoPower
Samsung 193N LCD 19" monitor 1280x1024
