need a DualHead PCI card
 

I just ordered a cheap ass new Dell comp. It's only got PCI and I need a dualhead card for my 2 2001fp's. In my current comp I have a Matrox 32mb G400 Max. I could take it out but I kind of what to keep that comp intact, so it would be preferrable to find another card.

I don't really play games so I don't need a very powerful card but if the video card effects the quality of watching DVD movies on my monitor then I'd rather something a bit better.

I was looking at this one:
Diamond Stealth Radeon 9250

However that would mean I'd be running one of my monitors in DVI and the other one in VGA. Does this matter?

Any other suggestions?
Thanks

That one is fine. Watch the DVD's on the DVI side and leave the VGA side for just poker and other inane crap you don't need to look 100% perfect. Chances are you're not going to notice the difference between DVI and VGA anyway.

you dont need an actual dual head card anymore

The VGA/DVI dual mode is fine. I use it in alot of systems I build out for traders and it works fine.

Just make sure the card/drivers support the features. Some only let you use one side at a time ( I dont believe thats the case with the radeon though)
