Which keywords in the videocard specification tell me that videocard is capable of doing dual-monitor with a single card ? (supposedly, one monitor on analog output another monitor on digital output).

Which low-end cards can do dual-monitor with the single card ?

Thanks
Viki

As far as I know, any graphics card with dual video out ports is capable of running dual monitors. It's a matter of setting it up with the drivers. For ATI Radeon cards, use Catalyst Control Center. For NVidia Geforce cards, use NVidia Control Panel.

^+1.
You can get a 8600GT with dual outputs. There are converters for the ports if you have analog.

Dual ports, dual monitors. For what it's worth, S-video/component also serves as a port in this case.
