Need some advice for a multiple card purchase

[Kaifu]

I'm looking for solid, educated advice (why else would I come here? 😀) to help my brother's company out.

My brother is essentially second-in-command for a small home construction business. They recently rennovated a new office and purchased a half-dozen or so new computers for their business. Nothing too mindblowing. IIRC, they're all around 3Ghz Pentium's with at least 1GB of RAM. These machines are meant for office work, AutoCAD and the occasional video presentation (at least one of these machines will have WinXP MCE installed).

Unfortunately, the way these computers were set up left them with a single VGA-out. Each machine is supposed to be hooked up to a 17" flat-panel monitor and a 42" Plasma.

What would you recommend for a video card? It should have dual output and at least one should be DVI for the plasma. It doesn't need to be a gaming workhorse, but shouldn't be something that video presentations and work in autocad will choke on.

By the way, I was looking at a few 6600GTs, but I think that might be a little more muscle than they need... still if the price is right, that might be a good dual-display card, especially if it has dual-DVI

Thoughts?

Enough to power a 42'' plasma?

I don't know if an FX5200-FX5500 can do that..

Maybe someone else can shed some light on this. I'd reccomend a DVI-connector, even though I personally can't tell the difference.
