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) |
