Default 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
D M Joshi

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

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.
