What I'm looking at

But there are far too many choices. I'm using a 6600GT for my primary monitor, and want to buy another card, preferably PCI-E just so I can keep my regular PCI slots free, to run two more monitors.

I'll just be doing Windows 2D stuff 95% of the time, possibly some random things like Winamp visualizations, but I have no plans to do any sort of gaming with the secondary monitors. So I just want a nice, fast, cheap card with dual monitor output support.

Help? 🙁

I want to spend <$50, the cheaper the better (without sacrificing a lot)

PCI-E preferred, PCI is okay too, maybe. If there's a better choice than the X300SE line, feel free to suggest as such. And I apologize for any who have read my previous thread on this subject, I never ended up buying one then, and prices have changed since.

Thanks..
 
And I have also heard of possible driver problems mixing an ATI and Nvidia card, but are those really common? I've had no problems mixing Matrox/Nvidia.

Maybe a Geforce 6200...?
 
Hmm... I think either of those would work, but keeping all of the drivers the same seems to avoid a lot of hassle, or even some issues.
 
always better to keep the same companies cards...since u already have a 6600GT, get something like a 6200TC would be perfect
