Hi, I'll go with NVidia if you don't care about open source drivers. They have excellent support in dual screen support. Intel... not very good support. good drivers, but I had my share of a garbage cursor on the 2nd screen. ATI/AMD - Pretty good but PRAY that your card is supported in their latest drivers or else if you find a bug on an older drivers (discontinued card), then that's your problem :)
