Graphics video card (no 3d or games - for graphic arts) Suggestions

[Transition]

I'm building a new workstation at work for use with graphic design. I work in Illustrator, Quark, Photoshop, Dreamweaver, etc etc all day long. I won't be playing any games or doing any 3d modeling. I'll be using dual monitor setup (CRT's) and need to find a decent card. If anyone has any suggestions as to what cards are out there that would do the job for less then $200 that would be great. I believe the setup will just be the following..

AMD XP 1800
Soyo Dragon+
WD 80 gig 8mb Cache HD
1 gig crucial RAM

Suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

I have heard good things about the Matrox cards, though I have never used one. Ati makes pretty good 2d cards with decent 3d graphics also.

Good luck

Try some of these Matrox Cards.

Great 2d on all of them, and quite inexpensive also.

Yeah, either matrox or a Radeon VE dual-head card should do the job for you.
The matrox may have a few better dual-head options, but for standard dual screen work, either should be good with the Radeon probably being a bit better for games (should the need ever arise - only TNT2 / GF2 MX200 performance though).
