The ATI Radeon 7000 PCI, MAC Edition is nice. I think it comes with 64mb of video ram, s-video, and DVI connectors.
This is a relatively inexpensive, higher end card.
It's available on places like ebay and maybe in some stores. Just search for "radeon pci".
Good Luck.
Older versions of Radeon cards for PCs are inexpensive.
For Mac, the Radeon 7000 is almost the only pci card available around here (E. Ont.), and IMHO not inexpensive at about $188. (then add taxes) a year ago. They are good cards, though, with a VGA video connector, composite, s-video, and a DVI connector. Probably not good enough for avid gamers.
New, out of the box, they come with needed cables and adaptors, and good support from ATI.
They have 32 MB of DDR RAM.
If you find any cheaper used ones, let me know!
Hmm, I didn't realize how difficult this was going to be. I'm not into gaming and only want basic support for a second monitor. I thought there would be more choices but maybe not. One card not mentioned here yet is from ixMicro, 8 megs of video ram. But I think ixMicro is out of business now, so there wouldn't be any support for them.
I'll keep looking around. Thanks to everyone who has replied.

Actually I think I have an ixMicro Pro Rez that I'm not using ...... with all the CD's that came with it.
