Best onboard video...

What's the best (performance wise) onboard video that meets the follwing requirements:

1.runs vista aero flawlessly
2.runs a dual monitor setup (1280x1024 + 1680x1050)
 
Erm, is there a secret that I don't know about? How do you run dual monitors off of a single RGB? Well, at least that is what the 8200 board shows in asintu's link. Do the 780G's have two video outputs?

Ah, I see an HDMI output. Is there an HDMI to DVI adapter for the second monitor? If so, pretty kewl.
 
Well now that you have edited your post to reflect that you need dual monitors your options get more select. As keys pointed out, I don't know how you'd run two monitors off a single VGA output on the 8200 linked. This 780G has what looks like a DVI and a VGA output.....I guess you could run monitors off that?

EDIT: Oh yeah there HDMI for both aswell...you'd need an adapter.
 
There are also hardware solutions which present multiple monitors as a single high horizontal resolution monitor to the video card. This makes it possible to e.g. put multiple monitors on a laptop.

Video quality is fairly poo, however.
 
8200 is better (though wait for a better brand than ECS as it will be better quality and more features). It allows uncompressed surround audio and if I remember correctly, it allows 2 digital outputs as opposed to 780g which only allows analog+digital.
Edit: I'll slap myself cuz nVidia 8200 still doesn't support dual screen. I have no idea where I read something about 2 digital outputs.

I haven't seen that before. That would be a very cool option though, as it would finally bring 'true' dual monitor support to onboard graphics.
