RE: Multi-monitors
I had an GeForce 6800 LE, it had one VGA and one DVI output, so I hooked one monitor in one connection and another one in the other, and I got two outputs (it was a bit heavy on the card tho). Also, most cards come with an VGA-to-DVI adapter, so that you can plug in one monitor with a VGA plug in the VGA port and then use the connection for the other to use two monitors that only support VGA.

Expensive. You could get a fairly nice new GPU with two DVI outputs and S-Video for less than that.

Yeah, but this is more likely aimed at laptops.

I have 2 DVI slots on my 8800GT, but my 19" LCD is VGA (well it's also DVI but my dad is using that cable :p)...thankfully the card itself came with 2 VGA to DVI adapters :p

I have used the USB VGA adapters and I find to use them on a desktop machine annoying. It's to slow do anything productive with. :P
