Compatible second video card (vista)

Hi all -
I have a new vista machine with an Nvidia dual dvi card - NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GS
It works great, love it - runs two big wide lcd monitors... but I am not satisfied, I want to add a third!

Can anybody point me to a card that I can use alongside the one I already have?
Here are my requirements

- pci-x-16 OR just plain pci
- dvi output
- fanless preferred
- under $100 preferred
- dual dvi preferred if possible, for potential 4th monitor (yes i have an addiction) - but not required if price won't allow

I already got and am now returning one pciX16 card from newegg, it was not compatible with my existing card.

Thanks in advance.
 
What card are you returning?

any card that uses the same drivers should be fine - eg, pretty much any nvidia 7xxx card, tho you wont be able to use sli (which I figure you probably dont anyway) unless they're the same model. In other words, just add another nvidia 7xxx card and it should be fine. Im planning to upgrade my card but keep the old one so I can run three monitors myself.

This: http://www.newegg.com/Product/...p?Item=N82E16814125028

will be fine - and then you can always use sli if so inclined

Plz post your hardware config aswell - then we can make sure the card will fit your board (does it have 2x pciX slots?)
