Post subject: Need recommendation on low profile card for dual monitor support
Archived from groups: alt>comp>periphs>videocards>nvidia (more info?)

I am looking to add dual monitor support to a number of PCs at my office.
They all require low profile cards (Dell Optiplex Small Form Factor PCs).
They all are currently using just the integrated video controller on the
mother board with a VGA Connector. We will be adding Dell 17" or 19" LCDs
(depending on the budget) to work alongside the existing CRT monitors and
then eventually replacing the CRTs with matching LCDs.

I would like to find a low profile card that has dual DVI output - the
second connector presumable on a second bracket. Initially users will be
using the integrated VGA connector and one DVI connector but as older
monitors get replaced we will go to all DVI flat panels then just the Dual
DVI connecors would be used.

We are just doing business apps here, no games, no video or graphics
development so I don't need big 3D support. And I don't think I need need
more than 128 MB memory on the card - unless you think I am mistaken. Some
PCs have AGP slots and some have PCIe x16 slots so I need a recommendation
on two cards - one AGP, one PCIe x16.

BTW I don't see us moving to Vista for quite some time.

Your thoughts would be appreicated
Tony
