AFAIK, most today's video cards are capable of driving dual monitors. You don't really need dual DVI outputs, - you can get two monitors attached to one video card using a DVI splitter that you can buy for ~$5-7 on monoprice.com.

You don't care -- for LCD flat panels -- if it's DVI-D or DVI-I; you don't want DVI-A. (A is for "analog". :) Generally speaking, you want a fairly good card to drive a pair of 22" monitors; this does *not* include the Intel. If you were in the US, I'd expect you want the 200 USD price point, rather than the 139 USD price point. -- Graydon -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
