beckya,

Last month I upgraded my video card to the ATI All-In-Wonder 9600 pro. This card fully supports two analog monitors and has a nice software package that will allow you set up your displays in a number of ways. ATI calls this Hydravision.

They also have a multiple desktop feature which will allow you to switch to groups of applications with a single click. I would think this would be very nice for someone tracking a lot of data while trading. I run my dual 19 inch Viewsonics as one very wide screen. I can drag applications to either monitor and the ATI software will allow you to select a certain monitor as the default for each time you open an application.

Overall I give the card a high rating. I upgraded from the ATI AIW 8500DV, and I think it was worth the 215 bucks.

And, if you like games or to edit video, then this card is pretty decent. Here is a link to the card on NewEgg.

Good Luck

EDIT, if you do get this card, make sure you get the latest drivers from ATI. ATI "hides" many of the drivers in the trouble-shooting sections. I guess they don't want to give people too many choices until they have failed with the latest main driver release. If you play Quake3 and use XP you will have to find the right drivers hidden on the site.
