Second graphic card for pcv-rx406

I would like to add a sec graphic card to enable me to use dual monitor.
The current one is agp so the next would be pci.
What should i buy? I have seen some for £40 about my price but will pay more.
I do not use 3d but do work on large pictures (600mb+)
The second mon will mainly be used for static pics and a screen full of printing.
Thanks for any help.

I now find i can not use a simple converter as the outlet is digital and the monitor is analogue.A converter costs $400 i am told.
Back to the drawing board.

Back to the dual outputVGA cards then.

most cards with a digital ouput come with a convertor (simple cheap thing) but that one is different that the one you are mentioning. If the card supports both its cheap, if not... then you need the expensive convertor :slight_smile: (Or buy a kickass TFT)

Unless you buy a DVI monitor, like Oxi suggested, then you will need to go for something like the Matrox, again suggested earlier as they have 2 VGA heads on them.
