I have a dell dimension 8250 and i was wondering if will be able to have a widescreen monitor without distorting the picture?

Here are the specs of the computer:
3ghz with HT
768 Mb RAM
120gb HD + 400gb HD
ATI Radeon 9700 (im guessing this is the deciding factor, i just dont know if this video card is widescreen capable)
 
The graphics card will automatically adapt to a widescreen monitor with the correct drivers installed.

The video card looks good enough to handle a widescreen monitor.
 
So it seems like i can use a widescreen, would it be possible to do a dual monitor setup with a new 19" widescreen and then the 17" crt i have currently?

People really don't understand this. Widescreen monitors don't require more power, it's just a different resolution...
