    Dual-display setup : what card to get ?

    Okay, so I'm looking for a new computer setup, and I want a dual display card with dual 19" monitor. But I really don't know witch card to get. I know Matrox got some nice cards, but they are overpriced (my ).

    Let me know what you are using or what you can recommend me.^

    Thanks !

    go for the radeon 9600 all in wonder card. You can pick them up pretty cheap and they have tv tuner (useless but fun) + remote control

            Okay, that was one of the thing I was looking for, but I still don't know what's the "DVI" technology. Is most of the high quality CRT have this technology ?

                We use Radeon 9600s on three PCs here all with dual LCDs and we are really pleased with them.

                  Well, I'm a web designer, so I guess high quality CRT (like Viewsonic) is better for me than LCD screen.. what you thinking about that ?
