is there high def ability in this situation?

A buddy in Canada asked me something and i just cant figure it out!!!! he was lucky enough to be upgraded to a 1950XTX when his 1900 purchace was out of stock(green with envy). He is still trying to use his old monitor ,a IBM P275 ,which is a Sony trinitron flat screen monitor. The issue is a guy at IBM told him to force the HD in the CCC. Now it also states when forcing them it may screw up his display .

here's the question ......what is the safe mode (720-1080)????? as i dont want to be that guy...lol(the one who breaks others stuff)

plz help as he wants to see if HD is available

what sort of cable is he using, VGA (D-Sub) or DVI. If hes just using a VGA cable I dont think its worth him even trying HD on it.
