What video cards support 2 monitors at the same time? or what is a good 2nd video card?

what video cards are out there that support two monitors at the same time? or what is a good secondary video card? need a min of 512mb but would prefer 1gig -- ddr2 (that's what the mb supports and the type of memory on the mb)... thanks!|||Almost all video cards I know support 2 monitors: my ancient Pentium 4 had a 128mb Radeon 9800 pro, and it has 3 video outputs. My radeon 6850 has 1 hdmi out with audio, 2 DVI outs, and a displayport out.|||The majority of cards support two monitor. You don't have to worry.



The problem arises when you try to play a game that uses both monitor. That won't work because their isn't enough RAM in a single card to support the resolution. You really need a 2nd card ran in crossfire or SLI if you plan on playing games.



But for normal stuff like browsing the internet on the monitors. 1 card is fine.|||Many video cards can support 2 monitors - check the package.



Important note here is the memory your mb supports is for system RAM. The video card is completely independent and can use a different memory type like DDR3 with absolutely NO issues. You'll probably want a card with 1GB DDR3 at least.|||Creative company's video card with 512mb can supports 2 monitors at the same time
