Is there a video card out there that could fill all my needs:
I want to run dual monitors (one is LCD), be able to view TV in full screen mode, play the latest 3D games, do some serious video diting (premiere6) and well, basically i want a card that does it all and no compromises, only the best! What should i get? ATI?

Hi mofo,

The ATI All-In-Wonder Radeon 8500DV (http://www.ati.com/na/pages/products/pc/aiw_radeon_8500/index.html) or 7500DV (http://www.ati.com/na/pages/products/pc/aiw_radeon_7500/index.html) sounds like what you need. The only problem is that neither card has dual-head outputs. Check out the GeForce3 Ti200/500 cards as well, most have VGA and DVI output along with TV-out support.

If i get a dual-head card, it means i can plug two monitors on the same card but will always have the two monitors showing the same thing, right? So if i get an AGP card with TV support and an extra PCI card, can i view windoze on one screen and the tv on the other? Or can i do this with some dual-head card?

My geforce 2 mx 200 does just that!
