Seems to me it is fine. But how about a dual monitor PCI card. But little bit expensive.

Here's one combination.

Main board
Video card

That video card have two DVI ports. Don't worry. With the package you get 2 adapters.

Thanks for the input, you do have me a little confused though- I do run two monitors and it's kinda important it stays that way, the evga one says it is dual dvi (i use two old crt's so guessed I would need two dvi-vga adapters) would that not allow me a dual monitor setup?

 

[eranga262154]

That what I said, in the device package you can find those DVI - VGA adapters.

 

[Ferg]

Aha, i'm with ya now :D

 

[eranga262154]

Never mind :)
