I suspect it was not designed to handle the bandwidth needed for
1600x1200.  DVI may be the future, but the ports are limited by the
transmitters driving them, just as CRT ports are limited by the RAMDAC.
 As 1600x1200 LCDs become more popular, I'm sure you'll see the
capabilities of DVI ports increase.
