Help - Need Video Card For Two LCDs

Have a new Dell 8300 on order with no monitor and a lousy video card. Need
to get a new video card that can drive two LCD flat panel monitors.

The two monitors are for work...but I want to play games on one. Am
ordering Viewsonic VP171b monitors that look like they should work fine.

But...what video card? I'm considering MSI's GF4 Ti4800SE-VTD 128MB card.
Will this drive two LCD monitors? Can both use DVI connections, or just
one?

Any better choice in the ~$200 range?

Thanks for any help!

ATI's Radeon 9500 Pro or 9600 Pro would certainly fit the bill, and if
you're thrifty, you might be able to pick up a used 9700 Pro for not
much over that amount. Almost all current ATI cards support dual DVI,
and there are some nVidia cards that do as well, but I'm hesitant to
recommend them right now because the value for performance is not very
good. The graphics cards out right now seem to be in a mixed-bag
transitional period.
