Video card suggestion for Dell e310

[Ivan James]

I need to find a PCI card for this Dell so I can run dual monitors. Calling Dell makes me want to slit my throat so I would be so appreciative if someone could help me. I'm not too worried about price, but I don't need the best card out there. I don't do any gaming on this computer. I just need a boost to my work productivity and dual monitors seems like a good iea.

You need either a pci or pci-e x1 card(you can't use pci-e x16 or agp).

If you want dual vga monitors, this should be fine.

If you need dual dvi instead, then this should also be fine.

nVidia 6200

For nVidia cards the best I could find is PNY 6200 PCI 256Mb 64-bit. I have a dell with only PCI and my son wanted to play STALKER. This card is definitely an improvement on the 5200/5500 cards. We can run the game at medium settings (though static lighting) and it's quite good. had some sky tearing problems which were fixed by using the Z-tweaked driver. I see nvidia have a new official driver out which I may revert to. The 6200 also seems to be good for overclocking.

ATI also have a couple of PCI cards, but I've not tried them
