    That mount would destroy my desk.
    Looks like I need to pull the trigger on a Dell UltraSharp U2410 or HP LP2475w.
    Which video card for those?

  2. I think most dual-head video cards will do.

    I use a few of these PNY Technologies 8400 GS 512MB dual-cards. I like these for their passive cooling (no fan). Works pretty well. Supported resolution is 2048 x 1536. Should work for your Dell mon.

  4. They are dual cards. Each video card supports 2 monitors. I have 3 cards in my i7-930 box to drive 6 monitors, Windows 7.

    Kindly advise if I should alter an item.
    I don't think it would be too late.
    Many thanks again.
