I have a Dell c521 and just got the Galaxy GeForce 9600GT low profile card. I am not interested in running 3 monitors and heard about softh. I only have 1 PCI-e slit which the 9600GT currently occupies. I will need to use the 9600GT for the primary monitor, and a secondary for the other two monitors. What is the best video card I can get for the regular PCI slot?

Also, if I am running a 17" monitor now with an ATI x1300, will my graphics/framerates on 3 monitors with the 9600GT + secondary card be better or worse than before?

all the pci video cards are terrible to say the least. so just pick up whichever one is the cheapest.

I screwed my post up. I meant to say that I am interested in running three monitors. Also, my secondary slot is a pci-e x1, not a regular pci.
