Ok i am new to this site and im not sure if this question has been posted before. I just bought a new monitor (Dell In1910N 18.5") to replace my old crt monitor that finally broke. Now when i try to view the maximum resolution for the monitor, which is 1366x768 at 60 hz. I understand it may be due to the fact my graphics card is old (32 MB ATI Rage 128 Ultra). Is this the case and if it is what graphics card would be good to buy just to fix the resolution problem. I'm not a gamer, but i do watch a lot of movies on the computer.

You didn't finish stating what your issue is...?
What does it do when you change the res to 1366x768?
Invalid format? No Signal?

You can update your Video drivers here: http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspx
Or there's an old Video driver here that everyone said worked: http://www.asitis.org/ati-128-rage-ultra-rivers

I doubt your video card supports that resolution.
EDIT: Fact. Your video card does not support that resolution.
It goes higher, but won't run that exact res.

What is the model of Dell computer?
And what is your budget?

You would need a new power supply also, as your computer only has a 250watt PSU.
What is your budget?
Have you tried turning the resolution down until you find one that fits?
Maybe you can find one that's tolerable?

AGP 4X, from here:

I really don't think you should spend any money on that old computer

I see. Well, I think you're fighting a losing battle here, as your monitors native resolution seems to be an odd one.
You could upgrade your GPU and PSU, but there's no guarantee that a new card will support that resolution either.
I have a GTX 260 and I cannot run that resolution...

the ati radion 9250 (agp x2/x4) will work on virtually any motherboard with agp and is pretty good at playing most old games, plus you get tv and dvi outputs.
HIS still makes them (last time i checked), about $50 or less (australian dollars)
i used to use one (and my sister still uses one) but after 10 years of heavy use, it unfortunately cacked itself
but for 10 years it was pretty damn good! it can run all your resolutions (on two screens even) easy!
oh-yea, it is also low-profile compatible and you wont need a new power supply or anything
