    ok. let me understand this. this card provides 2 dvi ports each right. so i need to get 2 cards. ie 79.99 X2=159.98.

    if my math is wrong or my interpretation is wrong, let me know.

    That is correct although you will have to pay the $109.99x2 up front then send away the $30 mail in rebate. Better check the fineprint though because they may only allow you to use one of the rebates, better check it out. Either way I think it's a decent deal for that card.

    Your motherboard has 2 PCI-E x16 slots so you are good to go, just check your motherboard manual and make sure your "SLI" is turned off. If you need help PM me.

    *Edit* I just checked and you're allowed 2 rebates per person.

    Or yes as chiguy and gnome suggested the Quadro NVS. They will be a cheaper alternative.

    Agree...listen to gnome. Cheap, cheap, cheap on eBay, so get a backup card as well.

  9. try a Matrox G200 MMS used, they are quads cost about $50 USD, used to cost $299 or 399 etc..

    Can't go 16:10 through..

    Then spend the $ for the real important stuffs like monitors or a hooker or two :)

    They are PCI, you can hook two of them up for 8 monitors plus any extra if you have another card.. My mobo uses ATi Express 200 (X300 chips) and working fine with it, will try a second drop in another one later.

  10. Listen to gnome and buy the quadro card for trading. There are lots of reasons to:

    Quality
    Value
    Size (fits single x16 slot)
    Heat
    Sucess (best card for trading)
