57028 2002-06-24 22:46:00 I'm looking for the cheapest AGP video card with twin VGA outputs. This is to be used to extend the desktop in Win XP. Any suggestions? scratch (615)

I'm not too sure how much an AGP dual head card is, but I have a feeling they're pretty dear. I've got a (very) cheap PCI 4mb card running my second screen, and it works quite well (running XP Pro).

But as Mike says you can use a PCI card as a second adapter.

I quite like it too - my only hassle is screensavers don't work well across two screens (although most of them still work). I guess that could be because one video card is 3D capable, and the other isn't really, so new stuff doesn't display properly, but you get that on a cheap second hand card I guess.
