no gaming.... then you can't beat a Matrox vid card for the advanced dual head capabilities.

I've been running dual monitor setups for years now, matrox is the easiest and most reliable ever!

Only drawback is that you probably cannot find it in one of those stores... but www.newegg.com has a good selection. I'd got with a G550 as a base... P650 would be better.
