I just got a cheap MSI card: http://www.msicomputer.com/product/p_spec.asp?model=NX7600GS-T2D256E&class=vga Works fine on a pair of 1600x1200 LCDs with either of the nvidia drivers available (default or from ports). I'm not using its TV-out or any of the crazy nvidia options, but the card definitely works. $154 Cdn. You can probably find it cheaper South of the border. p -- Paul Chvostek it.canada http://www.it.ca/
