    Gotta gET Me oNE Of tHOSE Dual dISPLAYS...

    I mainly use my computer for making music on Cubase SX 2.0 and the screen can get very busy at times, with windows for controlling all sorts of things popping up all the time. Ive heard recently that this programme supports dual display functions and basically just want to know,
    WHAT IS THE CHEAPEST GRAPHICS CARD THAT I CAN GET WHICH WILL SUPPORT HIGH RESOLUTION DUAL DISPLAY FUNCTIONS???
    I dont play games on my computer at all so I don't want to spend out hundreds of pounds on an "all singing all dancing" card, but if there are major disadvantages with the cheaper cards then i am willing to spend a bit...
    PLEASE HELP ME, IM LOST IN THE GFX MINEFIELD!!!

    any card made in the past few years will support multiple displays - usually a DVI connector for flat screens and a VGA connector for old style screens. the DVI connector can be used for a regular screen with an adapter, usually supplied.

    Most Radeon 9200 or GF 5200 will have DVI/VGA and ther probably the cheapist option unless you buying secondhand.

    Get a radeon 9200SE. The bare minimum. £30 in the uk (Probably $30 in the us).

    Most cards released in the last few years support impossibly high resolutions, even the GeForce/GeForce 2. The suggestions above are a good enough choice. All you'll pretty much need to do is find the cheapest card that supports Dual Displays, and buy it, it's almost certainly gauranteed to supprt a resoultion of 2048x1536 or higher.
    To err is human. To really foul things up ... you need a computer.
