I am building a i7 920 configuration which I am going to use primarily for Programming, Wed development, Surfing. NO gaming at all.

I need a video card where I can connect two 23 inch monitors.

Please recommend a card that will do that.


I am looking at ASUS EN9600GSO/HTDP/384M GeForce 9600 GSO 384MB 192-bit DDR3 PCI - $35 AR
Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready Video Card - Retail http://www.newegg.com/Product/Pro...6814121319

opinions pls!

Thanks! How would you compare this card with

ASUS EN9600GSO/HTDP/384M GeForce 9600 GSO 384MB 192-bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready Video Card - - $35 AR http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121319

It has two DVI's. btw, my monitor does not have HDMI.

The GSO is more powerful I think, but for the use you have for it, it won't change a thing. However, it would save you the trouble of the HDMI to DVI cable (but it cost more and you have to pay shipping). In the end, either way will work just fine.
