PCI Graphics Card - Dual Monitors?

Rockbottom132 · September 13th, 2005, 11:09 AM

Hello,

I want to have a dual monitor setup so I need to purchase a PCI graphics card. I am currently running a 17" LCD off of my onboard graphics (don't laugh

) and my motherboard doesn't have an AGP slot (

) so I am stuck with buying a PCI graphics card.

Can anyone suggest an affordable PCI graphics card that can get this job done? I will probably be buying second hand off eBay unless they are quite cheap to buy new... I really don't know how much to expect to pay.

Thanks!

-Steve

Since you asked, I'll share my experience.

Assuming it's for 2d applications, no gaming, I've purchased several from This seller .

The Matrox cards are probably system pulls from Lease return machines.

They are recognized and automatically installed with Windows XP.

This would give you triple monitor cababilities. Me and my buddies use them for internet poker.

Can't beat 20 bucks shipped.
