    Cheap Dual Monitor Graphics Card?

    Hi people, I have a question.

    I have just got a new 19 inch TFT monitor which is very nice but I don't want to get rid of my CRT, I want to use it in a dual monitor configuration thingy.

    I have seen a Matrox Millennium G550 with dual head support for about £60 on overclockers.co.uk which would do the trick but I wanted something cheaper!

    Does anyone know of anything? It must have atleast one DVI port, be AGP and support XP.

    Cheers, Paul.

    You could get a cheap PCI graphics card, sory i cant reconnd one. But then use that in conjunction with your exisiting one.

    I think this has a D-Sub connection as well as the DVI: http://www.komplett.co.uk/k/ki.asp?sku=305433&cks=PRL

    Thanks, I thought about that but couldn't really find a cheap pci graphics card that supported DVI (my current graphics card doesn't so I would need one that did because I do want to use DVI).

    You could alwase get a cheap 6600gt with dual dvi. Though that would be around £100.
