I am looking for recommendations for a PCI-express video card, DVI+VGA (using CRTs right now), that will run 2 displays at 1600x1200. The cheaper the better, but if there will be a noticible difference in my application, I don't mind paying a little bit more for a better video card.
My other question deals with poker tracker and hard drives. I've already said that I will be datamining extensively. I will be running PT+PAHUD when I play (probably somewhere between 4-8 tables). I expect to have huge databases eventually, so would it be worth buying a 10k RPM drive to use for PT? The
74 GB Western Digital Raptor is $143 after a $20 rebate.

Bump for these two questions. I've had one video card recommendation, but I'm wondering if the cheaper ones will work or if I need to spend $100 here. No one has commented on the faster hard drive, but if I get it, I'd like to have it when I first start loading software rather than adding it later.
