There are more choices than you can shake a proverbial stick at. One thing you haven't stated is what you want from such a card. Is it only for normal desktop use? or are you wanting it also for OpenGL stuff.. like gaming and Compiz-Fusion? Both nVidia and ATI are usually good choices. nVidia has historically been slightly less problematic getting the binary drivers installed and working. With ATI opening up their drivers, this may change in favor of ATI in the near future... who knows. For cards, you can keep the expenses down and pick up an older nVidia 6600GT. The performance is quite good in single or dual head. I used a 6600GT for a long time and recently upgraded to a 7600 (even this card is relatively inexpensive now) . I'm sure others can chime in here with suggestions for ATI and other brands. C -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
