Need video card advice?
All I want to do is run two monitors off my tower. I can then have a monitor about 10 feet away and move to it with a wireless mouse/keyboard. All i do is surf, no games. Can I get away with a low end card? I am confused when I start looking at the GB and MB that are listed. If it matters, my computer is:
emachines T3646
vista sp1 home basic
AMD Sempron LE-1250 processor
160 GB hard drive
1 GB memory
graphics by Nvidia
Only paid $300 for computer, I don't really want to sink $100 in it just to hook up another monitor. I have seen VGA splitters on ebay for $5, but will I lose quality going this route? Pros and cons please! Thanks!!
Well a cheap PCI card should do. You have a PCI-Express 8x slot, which is really limiting. 8x cards are rare. However you have PCI and PCI-E X1 slots free, so you can get something like this:

It has a VGA port and a DVI port, so if one of your monitors was VGA and one DVI it should work.
