I need a cheap DX9 dual output card - what is there for "cheap."

I want dual monitors for my second PC, but it doesn't need top performance - just dual outputs. However, I don't see the point in buying a new card that isn't DX9 compatable. Suggestions? I was thinking along the lines of a 9200...
 
Why do you need DX9 then? What is the point of having a DX9 card that is slow? Instead of a DX8 enabled slideshow it'll be a DX9 enabled slideshow.

Btw - the 9200 is just a 8x 9000 which is a DX8.1 card

Are you looking for dual DVI or will you use the adapter and go VGA? If that is the case just pick a 9000 or something for like 50-60 dollars.
 
If you're planning on playing games with this then there is no point to getting a dx9 card that's around the price of a 9200. You should be looking at getting at least a 9600 pro if you want a dx9 card, otherwise you'll be better off with a dx8 card. Since you didn't specify you need dual dvi, I assume you just need dual vga outputs? You might look at getting a ti4200.
