Dual Head

[Guest]

I am looking for recomendations on a dual head video card with at least
128 MB of memory.

This is for my wife's computer (Athlon XP 2200+ with 1 gig of RAM). She
plays a number of online games, but needs dual head so that she can
spread her desktop across two monitors.

Do the cards with one standard VGA connector and 1 DV connector work
with two VGA monitors (using the DV to VGa adaptor)?

Thanks!

Yes they do.

I have the FX5600 vivo, and use an adaptor on the Digital output to my old
15" Samsung monitor, and the normal analogue output to my 17" ADI. Works
fine.
But beware, on some programs (games) it can be very slow.
