I need a new video card for a dual monitor setup with a Dell 2001FP. I am told DVI performs better then the VGA. For now I will just use my old VGA 19" as a second monitor but it seems like a good idea to get a dual-DVI head card in case I go to two flat screens in the future. It is cheap to convert from DVI connector to VGA but not possible the other way.
Dual-head DVI cards seem to be pretty rare, with funky ones from Matrox and expensive workstation ones also. Does anyone have experience or comments for:
Asus 2 (http://usa.asus.com/products/vga/v9520vs/overview.htm)
or
Asus 1 (http://usa.asus.com/products/vga/v9560vs/overview.htm)
They are quite reasonably priced.
What cards are you using with your Dual 2001FP's?
Is DVI really better then VGA?
Thanks
