I got 2 VGA LCD monitors that I want to have them side-by-side. The question I have is what is the cheapest graphics card out there that have dual-output (I think most of them has 1 DVI and 1 VGA)?
It would be nice that I can play some more recent games too. But I'm not really a game person but still would like to play when I got some free time.
Any recommendation would be great!!

The X300 would be a good choice and be OK for most games at low settings (next gen). As far as Nvidia goes, I would look at the 6200. I am not sure if they all have turbo cache, but if they don't go for the one with the most onboard memory. There is an article with benchmarks on THG.

Oops, sorry, I didnt see your post. I am unsure if the 6200 comes in AGP flavor. If they don't, maybe try a 5700 or 5900. They might have dual output and will run most of the games today. Its a bitch when you have mobo limitations since the ultra sexy Accelerated Graphics Port become
phased out. I'll investigate and post back.

I only see a 6600 -> 6800 in AGP. Also, there aren't many sub X800's in AGP (I believe it goes to a 9800 then skips to a X800).
