I'm after a video card that can have 2 monitors plugged into it. It doesn't have to be an amazing video card...

I also need to buy two monitors which I will prolly get second hand. All up I want to spend $200 - $300.

Any advice on cards?

6600GT or X800 - They generally have dual heads and thats all you need.

Oh wait, I'm a dick.

Look at a 9550. You can get them for around $89. Wouldn't use them for gaming but I use one for a dual screen setup and its great.

dp u just want any ol card that has 2 heads?
if so then pretty much even the cheapest have em;

http://www.umart.com.au/pro/products_listnew.phtml?id=10&id2=6&&bid=2&sid=9105 $79
http://www.umart.com.au/pro/products_listnew.phtml?id=10&id2=6&&bid=2&sid=9440 $69

theres $45 and $59 dollars cards there as well but they dont specificly mention they have 2 heads, they mention tv-out but have to ring em up to see for sure.

otherwise if u want a good card to go with it then yea 6600GT or X600-800 are very nice. tho they range between $180-350.

my ti4200 has dual head, one is vga one is dvi with a dvi-vga adapter thing. What do you want this for might help people make a choice. Do you want to spend total $300 on 2 monitors + video card or just $300 on the video card?

All up I want to spend less than $300. I'll be using them for recording and editting music. I'll be able to have edit view on one monitor and mixer view on the other, for example.

That post was me btw.

ps im gay

you sure are

hmm why not use a pci card with your current agp? or 2x pci vid cards...

not like your doing anything graphically intensive...

Unless of course your wanting to use DVI

other wise cheapo fx5200 i reckon will suit your needs fine, seen them go for as little as $39 now..

Brave choice coming out mid-thread in that fashion.
