    Cheapest graphics card to do 2x 1600x1200

    Hi All,
    I've got 2x 1600x1200 monitors @ work. I run Linux, so I don't need any sort of 3d acceleration. Basically it's just running X-Windows and a bit of VMware. As It'll be running Linux, I'm going for NVidia (their drivers are better in my experience). Question is:

    What's the cheapest chipset which'll run the 2 screens at 1600x1200 - the screens are FlexScan L887s? The current cheap ATI FireGL chipset in the box will only do 2x 1280x1024 and as it's for work, I want to spend the minimum possible!

    Cheers...

    Tom

    6600 should manage that easily provided its got the memory, which is 2000*1200*32 bytes per screen (no calculator handy)
