I have 2 x 21" sony's (1600 x 1200 @ 85Hz). Currently use Radeon 7500, win xp prof. I find that whatever monitor is on the secondary vga port displays text that is less crisp and clear. If I switch the ports, it clears up - indicating that its the quality of the 2nd ramdac.
What is the BEST single card for dual, or is it better to get a PCI card to run the 2nd monitor, with its own high quality RAMDAC?
Cheers,
Matts

The best you can get is one of Matrox's cards. I use a 400Max for some years now and only the latest new high-end Ati's give the same display quality (on 1 monitor). The G550 is not to expensive and easely found. If you have a tendency to game "regulary" You'd better get a Parhelia (use them with FSAA then so you use your cards potential fully) and you can even plug in a third monitor should need arise...
What is cooler than a dualhead setup... You guessed it triplehead one. And on the driver side, I don't know another manufacterer that brings out uch robust set of video-drivers (and maintains thm for more than 3 years)

Matt, I've noticed the same thing about the Radeon 7500; the DVI output does a terrible job of 1600x1200. I'm also looking to replace it, so I'll watch this thread to see what you discover.
Good luck.
