Well yes, the vncviewer & vncserver machines have to have the same
resolution, but his question was:

If the server machine's resolution limitation is the *monitor*,
and the card can push further, then there's no reason why he
can't disconnect the monitor and up the res. Windows will run
happily without a monitor, though it's not really 'headless'.
The machine might complain at reboot, though that's usually BIOS
overridable.

...though I suspect it's his video card that's probably limiting
his res.
