Will this video card be fine?
 

I've figured out what I'll be buying with the exception of the video card. I've found 2 that may work, but I wanted to be sure that they will run 2 monitors at 1600x1200. They both cost a little over $50.

ASUS Radeon X300SE 128MB

MSI Geforce 6200TC 64MB (Supporting 256MB)

All I want to use it for is poker related software, web surfing, and general office type software use. No gaming. If both will work fine with 2 monitors at 1600x1200, which would you recommend? I'm open to other suggestions too, but I'd like to keep the cost down if possible. I just need a PCI express video card with 1 DVI + 1 VGA output for 2 CRTs (for now).

in the comparisons i've read between ati's hypermemory and nvidia's turbocache, turbocache cards came out on top. both of them are basically things that allow pci-e cards to use system memory on-demand as efficiently as possible. msi makes good products, so i think that card is a fine choice. i'd probably kick in the extra $4 for the evga at http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130224 just because they've been on the ball for a while.

Thanks for the suggestion. I was looking at the MSI partly because I was vaguely familiar with the brand name, but not eVGA, and partly because of the higher memory of the MSI, but if you think the eVGA is a better card, I'll go with it. This will run 2 CRTs at 1600x1200, correct?

it should drive 2 1600x1200/32bpp displays fine. that will eat all of its 16MB though, i think 8MB is used for 1600/32.

i figured the higher ram ones would be way more expensive so i was just sorting by price. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814121193 is an asus 64MB for the same money, go for that one instead.

Will do! Thanks for the advice.
