I'll be getting a new 22" monitor (probably Cibox SC-C2201 next time it's up on today only and I've changed my address for my bank...) and was thinking I'd get a second graphics card to drive my old 17" tft.
I've got a X1950 XT 256MB to drive the main display for gaming, and am going to keep my old display to show irc/ventrilo/etc so thought it'd be nice to take the strain off the main card and make use of the two PEG slots on my mobo.
Requirements are cheap (£30 tops probably), short (I've stuck a passive heatsink on the mobo instead of the small fan which is just past the end of the PEG slot), quiet (preferably passive), and not turbocache/hypermemory (leave my ram alone!).
I seem to be left with about 1 option as far as I can see from Scan: 256MB Sapphire HD 2400 PRO (which is out of stock w/no ETA). Is there anything else out there that suits my needs, or should I keep an eye on the classifieds/ebay for something second hand? Any thoughts on the new monitor as well, looks well spec'd with DVI and cables included.
Oh and if I went for a Nvidia card would I have troubles? Currently running the basic ATI drivers without CCC.
Thanks!
