I don't play a lot of high end games but the option would be nice from time to time (not a high priority though). I do like to have a lot of deskspace for my video editing and stuff so I am looking at a possible dual 19" lcd setup running at 1280 x 1040. Would also be using s-video out from time to time, but like the games, not a high priority.

I'm looking at the ATI 1x00 series because mainly because I like the encoding assistance with avivo, and I like the video out a little more, but don't know how high I really should go.

AIW X1900 would be a pretty nice solution.

EDIT: I lied, I almost forgot, most X1900 AIW's only come with one
display input. Your best shot then, would be X18 or 1900 obviously.
Unless you want the AIW and feel like throwing in one of those nice PCI
cards :lol:

I wonder why they used their older tv tuner chipset in it.

...plus it doesn't have a dual video out.
