Hi guys - as per the title I'm a bit of a graphics card noob and after much web-trawling and forum browsing I'm still in the dark over which card to choose, you guys seem to be the most clued up so I thought I'd ask my question here:
I'm basically looking for a card that will let me run two monitors at the same time (not showing the same thing). I currently have a Samsung SyncMaster 172W at native 1280x768 and I've got a Dell 2405FPW turning up sometime this week and I also want to run it at the native 1900x1200. Ideally I'd like to have these connected by DVI but I don't really mind the 172W being on VGA. I need an AGP card and I have around £200 to spend. I don't intend to game with the monitors - just graphics / video work. Any recommendations would be much appreciated! I was looking at the BFG 6800 Ultra but that would mean upgrading my PSU too. Please help!
Here's my system (Don't laugh!):
AMD Athlon XP 1.24GHz
1.5 GB of RAM
MSI K7N2-Delta Mainboard
Thanks again -
