Resolution is determined by the screen. You cannot set the resolution above the screen's resolution. I'm guessing you've got a WXGA(1280x800) screen. What's your machine type? If you want a higher resolution you'd have to swap the screen, which is doable, but will void your warranty if you care.

What's the rest of the number? Type 6465-XXX ??

Your screen is more than likely a WXGA screen which is why the higest you can go is 1280 x 800.

You can however go to intel.com and get drivers for the card but if it's your screen that's the issue then it wont make a single bit of difference. You would need a WXGA+ LCD or a WSXGA+ or WUXGA (1920 x 1200) if you have the 15.4" Thinkpads.
