some advice about 2 graphic cards?

[arden]

I mainly want an ecomony card like these that support 2 monitors ..
Im not interested that much in games.. perhaps only sims or second life, and
yes I have AGP, and NOT PCIe

so which is better?

ATI=
http://www.gecube.com/products-detail.php?prod_cat_pid=9&prod_cat_id=169&prod_id=64500

or

NVIDIA=
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1776106&CatId=318


also if anyone knows if the ATI one makes a lot of noise ? because I dont
like noise.. the nvidia one has a cooler instead of a fan..

thanks

ATI makes good cards & that one is descent however,try ordering that
specific card & i doubt they have it,most distributors only carry PCIe.Either
way,once 2 monitors are running,download the exhibitor pro utility from
microsoft,
its specifically for 2 or more monitors.

There are so many models, that the benchmarking sites and spec sites,
cannot keep up with them all. This is the best match I could find.
The X1650 should be faster.

The GC-RX165GA2-E3R is reviewed here, but only six reviews are available.

At least the fan on this 1650, is not as loud. But the connectors
are not the same as the card you selected.
