Screen Resolution and Driver Update

vipejc
1) I use a Compaq 7550 monitor, and the default screen resolution is 1024 x 768. However, I do have the option of increasing it to the maximum 1600 x 1200. If I do that, will I damage my monitor? 2) I use a VIA/S3G UniChrome IGP video card, and need to know where I should go to update my older drivers.
