What kind of video card for a dual 20" LCD setup?
 
Just bought two Dell 2001fp 20.1" LCD monitors. Max resolution on each is 1600x1200 @ 60hz. Right now I have an ATI RADEON 9800 PRO 128MB AGP video card. At the moment (with a single Dell 18.1" lcd) the video card performs beautifully at 1280x1024. Plays any game I throw at it well. But when I hook up the two larger LCD's and bump up the resolutions I have a feeling it's going to be insufficient. Can someone shed some light on this for me. Perhaps recommend a better video card that's got dual DVI outputs but doesn't second mortgage my home.

I have a feeling that it's on the low end of the spectrum you're looking for, but the XFX 6600 gt I have has dual dvi. I would assume, though, you are looking more at something suited for a 6800 GT/Ultra ('specially if you have the cash for those LCD's, damn!)..

Quick newegg search: Dual DVI
XFX Geforce 6600 GT PCIe $186
XFX Geforce 6600 GT AGP $225
XFX Geforce 6800 AGP $270
PowerColor Radeon X800 PCIe $389
PNY, EVGA, XFX, BFG 6800 Ultra AGP ~$500

Unless you want a Quadro, FireGL, or a Matrox card.. you probably should be looking at one of these.

Might want to find a card that has lots of onboard ram, too..
