78129 2002-09-09 10:28:00 Yes I am greedy!
I was thinking of buying a new video card. One part of me wants to buy a card with paint shop pro in mind that would support dual vga display. The other part of me want's to play quake 3. I'd want to spend about $300
like I said I'm greedy
Currently have a Nividia tnt2 32mb card

A cheaper option would be go for the best card you can afford, and then get a second cheaper PCI card to run your second display, as you won't need the second display to run Q3, just your primary one, so it needn't be as powerful.

Check out Pricespy for the best prices on video cards. You might find a good deal in there, or just the right card for the right price.
