Default Looking for a Good Video Card

This is the cheapest one I could find, which includes two DVI to VGA
dongles. You can use this with a mix of DVI or VGA monitors. It has
a nice set of included cables.

SAPPHIRE 100164DDR2L Radeon X1650PRO 256MB 128-bit GDDR2 PCI Express x16
$60

You can do better with the same card and manufacturer. There's two versions
of this Sapphire 256Mb X1650 Pro card with virtually no cost
difference....the one above with 800Mhz DDR2 and one that has has 1400Mhz
DDR3 for what amounts to $5 more. GPU core is the same on both. The
performance difference is dramatic. This one is $71.78 with free ground
shipping.

The Newegg one is $60, but with $5.84 shipping, so $5 more gets you a LOT
more performance.
