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

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.
 
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.
 
what do you think is better?

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