So I currently run two 23" Samsungs off of an Nvidia 8800GS is dualview. Love it. I recently pulled a Dell 1800fp out of storage and mounted it on the wall next to my desk thinking that I could either use it for a dedicated data feed, tv or photo slide show should I not feel like doing work :)

My question is: what video card should I use to run it? I was thinking another Nvidia just to keep diver/software conflicts down. I was also hoping to keep it on the cheap if at all possible. My computer is on the slightly aging side-- I am running a an Intel 4300 in a DS3 mobo with 2 gigs of ram, with several PCI slots remaining.

Any suggestions on cards? Or even if its possible?

Thanks all.

Any cheap NV PCI card that will run on the recent drivers.
I used a 7800GT + 7200GS (but on 2 PCIe slots), and am currently doing an HD4850 (PCIe) and HD2400 (PCI).

Something like that would be fine.

Basically any 6, 7, 8, 9, 100 or 200 series card will work on the existing drivers, but the newer the better (in terms of how long they will keep support).
