We need to buy a graphics card with dual monitor output, ideally 2 VGA outputs but 1 VGA+1 DVI will suffice. The card needs to output 1440 x 900 PER MONITOR with 16-bit colour. We DO NOT need to watch DVD's or play computer games or need fast refresh rate, these cards will be used in computers for our accounts staff so they can see 2 Excel spreadsheets side by side. Ideally the cards should fit into PCI slot and not require AGP slot. We would like to buy from a vendor where drivers for Win XP Professional are available. With thanks D M Joshi

There is, however, a class of fancies of exquisite delicacy which are not thoughts, and to which as yet I have found it absolutely impossible to adapt to language. These fancies arise in the soul, alas how rarely. Only at epochs of most intense tranquillity, when the bodily and mental health are in perfection. And at those weird points of time, where the confines of the waking world blend with the world of dreams. And so I captured this fancy, where all that we see, or seem, is but a dream within a dream.

Why not just answer the freakin question?
Oh, you don't have the answer, so you made up a new question.

Running a PNY nVidia Quadro fx3000 256mg 8xAGP and a PNY nVidia Quadro fx1500 256mg PCIe x 16. Flawless operation and easy driver downloads from nVidia.
