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
 
Matrox!

But PCI is going to be expensive no matter what you do.

Why PCI?

No it isn't.

Get a matrox G series PCI card.
 
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.

Definately...

Post the specs of the machines and someone may suggest a better solution.
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.
