Default Recommendation on video card(s) to support dual monitor display


Hello all,

I am hoping someone can recommend a good solution that can support two
standard VGA (ie. not DVI) monitors on an HP business desktop. The PC
has a built-in display adapter which can be disabled. There are
multiple PCI slots and one AGP slot. Do I need one card or two? What
do you recommend?

Thanks in advance!

Jonathan

- Retail
<http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814133010>, or
