i know questions like this have already been asked but this is a variation. (as far as i know)

I want to use two monitors on my computer but I dont know if my graphics card can handle it. I dont think it can. What is the MINIMUM you could spend on a graphics card that would support two monitors and what card would that be?

If you can live with anolog output, you should be able to find a card for like 50 dollars.

Dual DVI is a bit harder to find so I am not sure if you can do it for less than 100.

don't skimp on a video card for dual displays. You want to make sure that your video card as two RAMDAC's. If not, you will not be happy. Try an ATI radeon...

You'll be happy w/ a $150 card...
