Well I'm not sure exactly whether you want dual VGA or DVI but Tiger Direct has this. VGA AGP card http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2148784&CatId=0 And they are right down the road from you.

Actually I need dual DVI on PCI Express, but thanks, that took me to one which should do it.. I'll pop down to TigerDirect through the week and pick one up. Just ordered a second 19" widescreen LCD, so I want to make use of it for programming :)

the next video card I would buy is a MSI NX7600GS-T2D256EH

this one should not be too expensive too...

I picked up a GeForce 7900GS yesterday with the Dual DVI output as my 2nd LCD monitor arrived. All set up with two independant desktops both in 1440x900.

Sweet :)

Also I have the option of getting a second card and going SLi too, not sure I would use it much though.

Nice. I love dual-head video, can't live without it.

So you happy with the Nvidia card?

seems good so far. Haven't really stressed it. In fact haven't played any games on it at all. Mame doesn't count :)
