I have an ATI x300 with about 16 megs of memory onboard, and 128 total shared..., its really called x300 w/HyperMemory... But I need to do dual screens at 1280x1024 off this card... And at 16 megs, not using any of the shared memory.... I dont think it would be possible...

Is there a rather cheap ~$50 card that I can use... That would support dual screens (native)... and have enough power for the price... that works with little or few mods... that have a tutorial to do?

Thanks.

7300GS or GT.

I agree on the 7300GS/GT. I'd recommend a GT though, since you can get one for $5-10 more than a GS.

2 Questions...
Can it support Dual Screens (easily)
+ Is there a driver for it that is easy to use.... Does NAIT (however you spell it) support this card... and does NAIT support dual screens?

Thanks for asking this question I actually had the same one plus another regarding it.
My motherbaord manufacturer (Asrock) lists specific cards it supports, can I install any card such as the PNY 7300GT (which is what I was looking at though not supported) or am I limited to the cards on their list?
Thanks!
