I don't know about that one, but I have a widescreen laptop that runs
at 1280x800.  It's also an AMD64 with an nVidia card (440 Go).  It
originally took a modeline to get it to do the widescreen resolution,
but I think it might work without it now.  I haven't tried it, though.
 So, in summary, I would guess that you should be able to get it to
work, but it may take some effort on your part to get a widescreen
resolution.  Also, since this is a laptop and you are looking at a
desktop, it may take a little extra, I don't know.
