Matrox!
But PCI is going to be expensive no matter what you do. Why PCI? "woof" wrote in message om... Looking for a dual monitor video card. This is for business use. Simple needs: 70Hz refresh or better 1280 x 1024 resolution 16bit color or better pci slot OS: xp, w2k Cheap is good. :-) Thanks

Old machines. (Is technology now to the point where agp cards
are cheaper?) I just went to the matrox site. These cards look spendy. Can't you find this stuff for under $50? G450 Dual Head PCI, $71. Is that the cheapest I'll find? Thanks for the info.

Simplest by far would be to pick up the Matrox PCI cards. Might get lucky on Ebay or elsewhere for some used card depending on how many you need.

I've had success with ATI and Nvidia. Under $100 at Fry's and probably others. What kind of business are you in? It would make a big difference if the monitors are for spread sheets or video editing.
