no resolution change

[window]

I've just upgraded my old ati x1300 to a 4850.

The maximum resolution im running at hasnt changed, it is still 1280 1024

is this right im using the same 19" monitor

What monitor is it?

It's very likely that the monitor's native resolution is 1280x1024 - only the newer 19" ones use the higher 1440 resolution.

Your monitor will limit your max resolution, for a 19" that sounds about right.

get a 22" or 24" otherwise that 4850 is going to waste

The monitor is a Dell 1907FP(digital) about 2 years old.

Yep, 1280 is the native resolution for that monitor.

Not to bad though as i can then run dual monitors
