J jho May 7, 2008 #3 If you are in the US I would get this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814139017 JATON Video-PX8600GT-256 GeForce 8600GT 256MB 128-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 SLI Supported Video Card - Retail $77.99 PCI-E x16 and two DVI ports.

This is what i would get: EVGA GeForce 8600 GT / 256MB GDDR3 / SLI Ready / PCI Express / DL Dual DVI / HDTV / Video Card Price: $109.99 Less Rebate: - $30.00 Final Price: $79.99* You will have a total of 4 DVI ports (With 2 cards of course)
