Yet another video card question

Posting for a friend....he wants to add another 22" LCD to run duals. He does VERY light gaming, and normal PC stuff nothing real strenuous. What card would you recommend? He can do PCI-e
 
How much is he wanting to spend? What games constitute light gaming?

I think anything in the lower-end Radeon 4xxx series is plenty to push dual 1650x1080 monitors. My workstation has a 7300GS and it powers a 22" and a 19" just fine for 2D work.
 
When gaming only one monitor will be displaying the game, so any card that can game at 16x10, which is just about anything $100+ for acceptable eye candy, and the budget cards just under $100 for "ok" performance.

Displaying the Windows desktop and running anything that isn't 3D will not tax *any* card on the market, unless you spend like $10 for a total piece of crap. You do want to make sure to get dual DVI ports, cause lots of cards don't have that. It's an easy /facepalm to make.
