Which radeon 7500???

I plan on buying the ati radeon 7500 primarily because it has dual monitor support. I go to newegg, search for it, and get all this http://www.newegg.com/app/viewproduc...n=radeon+7500.

What are the differences between all these, and more specifically, which one should I get?

Right now I have one vga monitor, and access to my brother's vga monitor (he's away at college, w/ new computer). I probably would buy at least one new monitor, as my current monitor, and my brother's monitor both are about 14" viewable w/ max 60hz and max 1024 x 768. Should I get a monitor that supports dvi or not? Do they make crt's that support dvi, or just lcd's?

Oh, and I assume I want one of the agp ones.

Also, the ones that specify it, say they are manufactured by sapphire, is that good manufacturer?

And this will not be too intensive use, a little programming, web design, internet and word processing. Only moderate gaming.

There are VERY few CRT's that support DVI, but it's pointless anyway because a CRT is analog no matter what you do to it.
