I currently have an ATI 9700 running two Dell 1703fp's (one via DVI and one VGA). With the two of them side by side it is very easy to notice the difference btwn the DVI and VGA (mainly when looking at a black screen)

My question is, if i add a second video card (PCI) that has DVI out, and use both monitors on the DVI's, will the pictures be more similar?

Also, what card do you reccomend? Looking for something cheap (~$50) if it will do the job im looking for it to do :)

i've heard of compatibility issues with two ati cards in the same system i.e. the ati drivers don't like managing 2 cards or something. based on that plus the low price on a mx440 i'd just go with what screwface said.

Will the colors look more even?
