Dual Monitor Card

[Lord Prism]

Do you have a recommendation for a good CURRENT dual monitor Video card?
Won't be used for gaming, just web, email, and office suite apps.

TIA,

For a current video card, you could get a Radeon 7500. While it might be a little overkill for non-gaming it does have Dual head monitor support and only costs $51 at Newegg.

This is quite a late post, since you asked your question quite a few days ago, but if you haven't bought yet, I'll second Alaron56's vote for an Ati 7500 (in fact, I bought one of the DDR models not long ago). But if you are going to use just two CRTs, and don't plan on moving to flat screens during the lifetime of the card, you're going to pay a bit more for the DVI(LCD flat panel)-to-VGA(CRT) adaptor.

You could also choose a Matrox 450 card (also available from Alarons link to NewEggs video card page). They have the absolute top-rated 2D display available, and it has 2 VGA (regular CRT) plugs builtin. No adaptors necessary. I think the last price I saw was $69. It's most definitely not for gaming, but exels at office displays. (It can do some light gaming).

You could always just throw in an inexpensive PCI card (or 3) in for dual displays.... Thats what I did, one geforce 2 gts, and a pci gefroce 2 mx400, worked flawlessly, and good if you want to keep your current card.

Cool.
