Recommended video card(s)? - GoFuckYourself.com

Looking to switch to a dual monitor setup, what do you suggest I use to accomplish this? An AGP + a PCI card, a combo AGP card (Like ATI's products) or..?

Also, which products specifically, I do NOT need it for gaming, don't care about frame rates in 3d, just need more desktop space.

Thanks...

Any that aren't going to break the bank and aren't powerhouses for CAD or gamers? I just want desktop space not 2x 2048x1536

Get yourself some nice LCD's (I got these 19" from dell for about 600 ea).

I got a matrox parhelia dual digital vid card... the whole setup ran me about 1600... I love it

I just got a 128MB Radeon 9000 Pro in the computer I just had built for me.

Probably one of the best cards for the money right now.

No, not for this computer however I might consider it for another workstation that's actually used by someone who needs graphics
