Matt,
	I haven't tried it myself, but I have read that you can do this. 
However, I have also read (and experienced) about the limitations that the CPU
can impose on the video card.  You have to have enuf horsepower to drive the
higher resolutions.  You might not get a real performance boost like you would
hope or expect.  Hope that everything works for you :-)
