Can anyone recommend a QUALITY video card for my second monitor?

I want duel DVI links. On my ATI X600, I only have one DVI link. The image quality of DVI is very noticable and I want to two monitors to look the same.

According to CPUZ my motherboard is a Dell Intel i945P/G, southbridge is 82801GB (ICH7), and graphical interface is PCI-Express.

I don't need a lot of power, I don't play games, BUT I WANT GREAT BUILD QUALITY. I've heard of cheap duel DVI vid cards flickering when in dual DVI mode.

Recommendations?
 
U game or no???

If not, an Nv 7800GT or ATIx850PE would do fine running duals. If you game, thats where it could get expensive. I recommend X1800, X1900 or Nv 7900GTX or 7950..... This is without knowing your prefrences, price, or expectations.

Well if he doesnt game, im sure he doesnt need an expensive card. I would go to newegg.com and look at all the dual DVI card they have. I would recommend cards made by ASUS for build quality. Also, it would probably help a lot if you looked at all the reviews. Maybe sort all dual DVI cards by review.

Thanks

There we go. Thanks for the reply. I was just wondering what brnad or specific card that would offer good quality. Don't need sheer power, just quality build.

You ask me if I game, when in my message I said I don't.

You offer me a nvidia card when I said I have an Dell ATI motherboard.

Then lambasted me for not giving enough info, even thought it was all in the OP.

Yeah gosh.

This motherboard should work with either NVIDIA or ATI video cards. Both PCI-Express or PCI cards should work fine. I'd go with NVIDIA because of the drivers. BFG and EVGA offer good warranties on their products.

Good luck
 
I agree with the eVGA and BFG suggestions, but would also add in XFX. If i am not mistaken they have a double lifetime warranty, or something of the sorts. Correct me if i am wrong.
