Video cards, Dual Head or maybe Dual cards

[A.Akoni.]

It is time to buy a new system, Athlon 2.4 fast drive 512Meg etc just not sure about the video card. Matrox Pahelia benchmarks a lot slower than say Leadtek TI 4600 with VIVO. In the end it is the video cards that seem to date a system. I really like the idea of a two or even three monitor setup. Any advice on the Matrox dual head card compared to others would be appreciated. I have not done much rendering under V 8. as my P500 is now so very slow.


Thanks

I have not read one thing that would make me buy a Pahelia card over a cheap on the rack card. I currently use a 4200 but am always keeping my eyes open.

The new ati 9700pro seems to be the card of right now, but watch closely if you want to use two monitors.
