Depending on your AGP and whether you use analog or DVI, Matrox has a couple of good cards, the G series and P series- matrox.com they make fine 2D cards -- have used an older G400 for years now with two regular monitors-- The P series has 2 DVI connections as standard-- price for P650 is around 150+ at Pricewatch. comparison chart to jot down parameters even in looking at other makes and models: matrox.com don't know if that's in your price range and other considerations-- (like slots and power consumption- smaller power supplies of older systems get peaked by newer more power demanding tech.) for 15 bucks at one place get a PCI card to go analog: dealtime.com (its a used card from Amazon) Don't do what I did, mix different brands, I blowed the monitor and fried the card, and that was adding a third monitor and I believe old PCI ATI card with the G400 card.(hey it did work for a while) LOL--- Smoke across the waters.---- just would been wiser to upgrade the whole system or get a second one which eventually I had no choice to do.
