Yes and no. A monitor can support several different screen resolutions. A CRT monitor can technically support any screen resolution sent to it, although the screen may be unreadable at extremely high resolutions. An LCD monitor supports a strict number of resolutions, but almost always more than one. The resolution that your screen actually uses (or tries to use) is specified by the video card, not the monitor. So purchasing a high-definition monitor won't do you any good if your video card is only capable of displaying 1024x768.

No, I believe that the monitor itself has a maximum resolution, and the graphics card will not change that.

What can I do to view graphics correctly on my D22W12 22 wide monitor - I just installed a AGP 32MB video card to my old Windows 98 computer hoping that would do it?

In order for you to use the monitor to its full potential, you need a graphics card that supports the resolution of your monitor, and you need to install the drivers for that card. An "AGP 32 MB" card would be pretty old; a card that old may not support very high resolutions, and if they do, only at a lower color depth.
