What's a good dual head video card?

What are some good dual head video cards as far as performance and also for the value?

My Radeon 7500 rocks. But, The MX440 puts up a good fight, both in performance, and Dual Monitor Software (ie nView vs HydraVision). But, the Radeon 9000 will totally blow away the MX series in performance. And taking a look at PriceWatch, it shows that Radeon 9000's are already down to $80-90. I would go for the 9000. its not quite at 8500LE performance levels, but it certainly will topple the MX series and the 7500.

Uhh, GeForce4 4600 is of course #1 Below $300, and top performance.

Presuming the only factor is multi-monitor capabilities then I'd look towards Matrox or Appian. Both have an extremely versatile, user friendly and fully featured multi-monitor implementation.

Agreed, my opinion was based on if u needed 3D Performance, but by all means, if 3D Performance doesn't matter then go with a MAtrox G400 (or maybe, a Parhelia).
