The problem with buying a video card that supports two minitors is that none of them allow you to set different resolutions on two screens. Your computer treats the two monitors as one desktop and it gets very weird. A bunch of people who have a dual monitor card also have problems maximizing windows since they stretch to the size of the two minitors.

I have All In Wonder Pro (AGP4) and a nVidia TNT2 (PCI). The combo works like a charm. I also use Ultramon to stretch the tool bar to the second desktop. Total cost is under $200.

I suggest you use two independent video cards for a dual monitor setup.
