I am look for a two head video card to drive external stand alone gauges in my glass cockpit.  This will allow me to cut the number of computers to drive four monitors down to two...... a substantial savings in hassels in networking, card interfacing, and so on.

These don;t have to be super fast cards capable of running fs2002 or fs2004 or anything.  The demands are pretty modest.  But I nee output to drive TWO monitors from one agp card as cheaply as is possible. 

Any thoughts?

best,

There are some GeForce FX 5200 that are capable of dual monitors and cost about US$70.

I had an old GF2 MX400, that had dual monitor support (and TV out!) you should'nt pay much more than £20 though.  Wink
