I have looked at the Radeon 7500 and it looks promising. The trouble with nVidia is they don't manufacture their own cards so I have to try and find a manufacturer's website. I didn't see anything at Elsa that had dual-head. Any specific suggestions on a manufacturer? One thing that has me totally going in circles is the difference between DVI-I and DVI-D connectors. The manual for the monitor says it's a DVI-D connector, and the manual for the graphics card says it's DVI-I. I have two guesses at the moment, 1) The DVI indicates the connector type and the "I" and "D" just indicate Interface and Display, respectively, or 2) Dell supplied me with a cable that does DVI-I -> DVI-D. I have a single-head system up and running, and I want to configure my personal workstation similarly. The single-head is using a Quadro2 Pro card with a DVI-I connector (according to the Dell manual). Thanks for the replies! Gary
