Quick question for the video guru's

[blazerazor]

should I anticipate problems running 2 samsung lcd 15inch monitors side by side?
I figure ill have to use the dvi to analog cause, if my memory serves me, these samsungs are analog from the get go.

Now I have a 'really old' pci diamond multimedia (which I got SO ripped off on from babbages, but I was such a noob and wanted lara's booty to dominate game screen... then quake choked me to death... but thats another story. hehe.)

This is going into my work pc rig, so I dont want to put too much into it, but the monitors are sitting around and will walk off if I dont use them, .. better me and at work I say. Its nice when the bosses upgrade and have to spend that extra saved loot before the new year.

So, what you think? Its a HP 1500 amd (256ddr ram, I think[it sucks, I know. I dont have a spare stick or I'd use it]) with on board everything {HP/Compaq :thumbsdown: for years in my book} running xp home, only one in the office without pro [go get a college education kids]

add the pci and hope (worked for me before, but with a 6800bfg) and save my ati radeon classic 9500 card for my on day i'll have enough extra.... or just put the radeon in there?

I used a ****** ATI Mobility M6 integrated and it ran a laptop screen and 19" widescreen (at 1280x1024, integrated was too old to support widescreen) with no problems. So I dont think you will have any problems.

One more quick question for the video guru's.

Which video card for a p5n-e MB ATI or Nvidia?

I like the x1950xt.

Thanks

Depends on your price range, how important quietness is, the resolution you play games at, and what you will be using it for.

$$ Less than 300.00
Quietness not a factor
I have a Dell 24" LCD

Then I recommend this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814161048 x1950xt

Can I do cross fire on a p5n-e sli MB?

 

[Gautama2]

If your buying 2, for a grand total of $600, you should buy the nvidia 8800gtx instead. I am not all that familiar with crossfire, so someone else step-in here.
