Looking for a graphics card that will run my 1680 x 1050 resolution monitor well?

My computer has built in video, and I'm looking for a good graphics card. I don't do any high end gaming, and I'd really like to watch HD tv though the computer. I've been looking at the ATI HD2600XT graphics card that are priced around $150. Thus far they're not winning any awards in gaming, but they seem to do HD graphics really well. I'm just not sure if I wanted to play a game with this graphics card if it could handle a 1680 x 1050 resolution monitor without too much trouble?

Answers:
The 2600XT is currently not the recommended card in it's price range. The Nvidia 8600GT offers better performance, requires a less powerful power supply and has better drivers and software support than the 2600XT.
I own a 22" LCD running @ 1680x1050 and I have 2 computers connected to this monitor (through a KVM switch) - my gaming computer that has a Nvidia 8800GTS KO (overclocked) and my server has an older Nvidia Ti4200. I do not game on my server and only use it to browse or run development tools, but it can definitely support that resolution.
