Good value priced Dual Monitor Card

Actually, Ati cards are your best bet for dual monitor applications. They have better display quality because of better RAMDACs.

If you won't be using this system for gaming, a Radeon 7000, 7200, or 7500 with dual outputs will be fine.

Just make sure it comes with a DVI-To-VGA dongle for the second display.

Ape's got it right, I usually neglect to mention Matrox usually because I think their cards are overpriced and I have friends who use them and get irritated with their drivers when they try to run games.

But if you're not running games, they're great cards.

You can get a Radeon VE with dual CRT outputs at Compgeeks for $40. Very good 2d, and you don't need to be gaming at work, so it's probably your best deal.

Imagine you're in a P51 mustang duking it out with the Axis powers. You you look to your right and see your wingman. You look to your left and see a zero. You have 2 choices, go up or down. You look up and see one of the bombers you're protecting, so you decide to dive.

Now, that's 4 monitors for 1 game. Unless you're super 1337 with a top hat.

And watch the performance of each card drop as another one is added to the same anemic PCI bus...

oh deffinetly. MAny games are improved with only 3 monitors, but few are better on two. I mean, maybe you'd put you radar there or something, but its nothing really big when you only have two. Neverwinter nights can even play nicely on three monitors.

you see more, actually, you can see so far, often ranged weapons cant shoot far enough. and you can put your inventory , quest, etc window there. IIRC you cant move the windows in NWN and it just puts them there for you because that what most people would want
