We have a 1Ghz Titanium PB with the ATI Mobility 9000 (64 Megs VRAM) and DVI port.

The specs say that it can handle resolutions up to 2048 x 1536.

But I assume that is talking about a single monitor with the PB lid closed.

What if we want to use extended desktop with an external monitor and the PB open?

I'm thinking about a 20" @ 1600x1200 plus the built-in screen @ 1280x854(native)

From Apples support specifications:

Video and graphics support
Built-in 2D/3D graphics acceleration through an integrated ATI Mobility Radeon 9000 graphics processor with AGP 4X support and 32MB or 64MB of DDR SDRAM video memory
- Support for dual display and video mirroring: Millions of colors on the built-in display and on an external display at up to 2048 by 1536 pixels (8)
- Support for a single external display: Millions of colors on an external display at up to 2048 by 1536 pixels (8)


This seems to be saying it can do millions of colors at 2048 by 1536 pixels on the external display along with the native resolution on the built in display.
