What are your computer specifications? Do you have AGP or PCI-E?

Famos

EDIT: If you have PCI-E... here's a good one.

If you don't need 3D, I'd suggest something from Matrox. Some of their low-end cards can be found for less than $100.

Matrox is the grand daddy of dual head cards. Might try a Matrox G450 or G550. You can get a 32 mb dual head AGP for around $40-50.
