    2 monitors?

    I looked into Matrox and they seem to be very very EXPENSIVE!!! Their cards look very good, however I think that it might be out of my price range. I will probably end up getting the Radeon VE. However, I was just wondering if this would work: I get a TNT2 PCI version and install that. And then...

    2 monitors?

    Hmmm ok. Thanks for the replys. I'm probably going to go with buying a new AGP card that supports 2 monitors. My AGP slot is 2x. Will that be a major problem with the newer cards? Also, any thoughts on which company is better for dual monitors? Is the Ati Hydravision any better than the Nvida...

    1. RossMAN, how did you get the Dell Dimension 4500 down to $739? I just configured it and I only got it down to $808. *edit* I figured out why it costed so much. I didn't change the warrenty. How important is the warranty? Do I really need it? I don't intend on getting a new system, but do...
