what does that mean and how can I find out if it will work
Unfortunatly there is no longer a Dell store where I can go and look at these things first hand in NYC where I am
Thanks


Yes, the Dell 2405FPW will work with your 17" PowerBook. I think Dell is confused, because I think some of their 9600Mo equipped laptops had WUXGA screens.

Apple says:
ATI Mobility Radeon 9600 graphics processor with AGP 4X support and 64MB of DDR SDRAM video memory (17-inch model)
* Dual display and video mirroring: Simultaneously supports up to 1440 by 900 pixels on the built-in display and up to 2048 by 1536 pixels on an external display, both at millions of colors


2048x1536 is bigger than the 2405FPW's 1920x1200

If you thought I was joking about pocketing $500, the 2405FPW is currenty $959.20 at the Home or Small Biz stores.
