So for me to have just about everything that I have right now but with two monitors I need a different video card? The reason I say it would slow it down is because instead of one monitor being "powered" by 32 mb, Now there are 2 monitors being powered by 32 mb.
So, get a dual output video card with 64 Mb.
Why would an ADC monitor slow it down? AFAIK ADC is just as functional as DVI. The down side of an ADC is cost (a guess on my part, I haven't priced them out). Another thing is their limited utility. You can only use one with video card that has an ADC connector. VGA and DVI are far more widely supported. Using both video ports on a card doesn't slow it down to my knowledge. AGP as a higher throughput than PCI. PCI graphics cards are not supported by Quartz Extreme. There is a fix to make Quartz Extreme work on PCI cards but it disables QE for AGP cards.
