DVI+VGA, or Dual DVI (1905fp+ another lcd).

[piotrgurin]

I just purchased a dell 1905fp.

I'm about to put in an order at NewEgg for a bunch of components, and what i'm stuck on is the video card.

Originally I was going to get the MSI x800xl dual dvi.
I want to have dual lcds . One for gaming and one for general use and photoshop.

Now i'm not sure if i should spent the 50 dollars to get the MSI or save with a rosewill x800xl which is dvi + vga.

Can i run dual lcds on the rosewill also? one on dvi and one on vga?

How would i decided which connection which monitor should have assuming for example i purchased a dell 2001fp for gaming.

I don't have a computer currently that has dvi so i can only test my 1905 in vga. Basically i don't know what the difference is like.

So i'm trying now to figure out which video card to get.

I'd go with the MSI for dual DVI. DVI has a better quality signal than DB15. You can run a DVI and a VGA monitor on the rosewill too.

Nice.

Whats DB15 btw?

Also, the more i think about it. Since i'm going for a quiet pc, i guess the choice really comes down to ethir the Gigabyte x800xl or the Rosewill + Zalman 700alcu.
What do you guys think about that?

I guess i'd just have to see which monitor would benifit more from DVI and live with the VGA in the other.

DB15 = the VGA connection

what do you think is better?

Gigabyte x800xl or Ati or rosewill x800xl and a zalman 700alcu, or one of those NV silencers
