Graphics Cards and monitor resolution.

Hi. I have been told that a graphics card can superceed a monitors
resolution. I was wondering if you can get your monitors resolution higher (I
assume they are only built a certain way), and how to check out your monitors
maximum resolution.

I looked in Start-Control Panel-Display-Settings: There I found the screen
resolution and colour quality. I can troubleshoot and click advanced.

I believe that the screen resolution for my monitor is 1440 x 900 pixels.
That is the farthest right it goes and where the More word is.

Acer AL1916W monitor.

Is this what my graphics card puts out or my monitor?
