ACK. The highest standard mode I know of on ye olde D-sub is QXGA (2048Ã--1536px) @85Hz, which is about 4x the data rate of 1080p @30fps.

I even had a monitor that could run it... took pretty spendy cables though :-)

(And though there are lot of ways to benchmark computers, Ubuntu 8.10 with Compiz Fusion is certainly prettier on my Eee than the Windows XP that it came with.)
