I'm looking for a dual head PCI card, something ridiculously cheap but not junk. nVidiot cards need not apply.

...Or mabye even someone that can tell me why my Radeon 7000 AGP supports dual monitors and only had one female head for a monitor? (There are no other connectors on the card)

I might have one its a 7000 aswell pCI let me look when i get home I am sure it has more then one.

You might want to go for a Matrox, those are cheap and some models were made in PCI. I used to have a Matrox G400 Millennium DualHead, runs fine, perfect for 2d!

*bump* So can anyone explain to me why the Radeon 7000 has multi-monitor display but oney one head? Do I need an adaptor?  ???

This is not the place to discuss such things. You're better of asking it in another subforum.

if the Raddy 7K has a TV-out that means your can use the TV and VGA jack in Dual Head mode, and if it only has one VGA out put then it's a driver issie since that there are many Radeon 7K's with VGA , TV-Out & DVI out's onthem where as you can either use the VGA and the TV-Out in Dual head or the VGA and the DVI or the DVI and the TV-Out.

This possibillity was the same on my Radeon X800XT Platinum Edition AGP

there are some nice RAdeon PCI's out there I'd say try and find a Radeon 9K PCI 128MB they are perfect in 2D and great in older games as well, they only lack DX9.0 support because the core is based on the RV200.

@ Obi

My 7k does not have a tv out, it only has a single VGA hookup. Im running XP Pro SP 2 and used the default drivers. I have multi-monitor display (I have a 16mb PCI card) and the PCI card is monitor 3 becuase the 7k has 2 monitor outputs according to XP.

Also, I think I found my new videocard http://www.3dgameman.com/forums/showthread.php?t=40921

hmm okay nice X1800XT why not the X1900 XTX + X1900 CF in CrossFire ;D haha I know would be very overkill, but a dream to have.

I'll be having an original Boxed ATi X850 XT Platinum Edition AGP soon fresh from ATi Canada the fastest AGP card up to date, I see that as a collectors item hehe :)

but refering back to the topic

you could use this card as your secondary VGA:

Hercules 3D Prophet 9000 PCI 64MB
http://www.kakaku.com/akiba/images/03/06/20030620newpro_vga_herc_90pci_03.jpg

use that next to your X1800XT then you can use 3 Monitors instead of 2 ;)

it's because that the X1800XT has 2 sepperate Ramdac's and the 9000 only has one ramdac for dual head :)

Yeah, I was thinking two  X1800XT in crossfive and a V5 5500 in PCI  ;D

why not the X1900XTX and a X1900 CrossFire Edition in CrossFire with a Voodoo5 5500 PCI instead ;)

but anyways I'm supposing that this topic needs no continuing hehe I must conclude that we are drifting off here  :-X

I agree  :-/

Yes, but that was wrong to begin with; it's a technical question related to computer-hardware and should have been posted in the General Discussion or in the This & That subforum.

This is a marketplace area; for buying, selling and trading only.

We were talking about this part;

Now let's get back on topic (the acquisition of a dualhead videocard).
