Graphics card with dual monitor output

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

most dual dvi cards are supplied with 2 vga adaptors so I would go dual dvi 
for any future requirements.

Why not use a single, large monitor and teach the staff how to use Excel 
properly? 


-- 
For my own part, I have never had a thought which I could not set down
in words with even more distinctness than that with which I conceived
it. 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.

I can agree on the PNY choice. 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.
