I intend to use two LCD monitors and would prefer to use a motherboard with onboard dual-DVI output. Does it exist?

The computer is not for gaming, so onboard graphics will probably be enough.

I have not seen any motherboard with dual DVI out, unless it was a specialty board, like HP's media center. (damn fine computer).


If you need 2 DVI outputs, I might recomend a low power video card that supports 1 more DVI + Svideo. You can get one off the PCI/PCI-e slot for $30 bucks (really low end).

But if you go that route, you might want to look into a hard that support HDCP with HDMI out? You can buy an HDMI to DVI converter for $6 and then when you upgrade later in a year or two, you will be set!

2 screens may eat up a lot of system ram for video so getting a low end video card is better.
