Two monitor video card support

[tamgros]

would a 8800GTS with 320MB RAM support two monitors?

Namely a 17" and 17" at 1280x1024 or 17" and 19" with the 19" at 1440x900.

if not would upgrading to the 8800GTS with 640MB do the trick?

thanks for any help

My 6600 GT supports two monitors, so ya an 8800 GTS will. The real question is what are you plaining on doing with two monitors and how much performance do you need from said video card.

yeah, good point, sorry about that. I would kind of like to use both simultaniously for games (but one 17" LCD would be enough), but its main purpose will be extra viewing area for programming (stata, gauss, excell spreadsheets etc...)

Pretty much anything should be able to run your office apps. An 8800GTS would (my best guess here, I dont know what games your talking about) run your games. Probably not with full AA and a native res of 1280 x 1024, but it should run.
