screen cards help

I need to figure out what's.. the best for my use and
quickly. I think the other topic got a bit "full," so people
didn't read the end.

I'm not a "hardcore gamer." I may want to play a few games,
but I can deal with lower resolutions and stuff like that.
I'll mostly just use the computer for making music (oh, and
some academic stuff), and I want a card that supports two
screens. It shouldn't have "Hypermemory" or "turbocache" (or
so I am told, as these two things use the computers own
memory or something), nor do I want fans, as they make
sound. It should also be pci-express.

I don't know shit about tech-stuff with screencards

It should cost very little, but still be "good."

Thinking about these two, but I really don't know if they
support two screens or just have two outs whereof only one
can be used at a time (if there are cards that do that)...
MSI Radeon x300SE 128 mb
Hightech Excalibur Radeon X300 SE 128MB

actually, if there is little or no difference between the
two, I'll go with the first, as they have it in the store
I'm getting most of the other stuff from... saves postage
and packing expenses, so it'll be cheaper. Other suggestions
are welcome, but keep it cheap.

original thread, btw, in case motherboard or processor or ram or
whatever other parts I have in there actually have anything
to say on the screencard... maybe power-supply or
something...

screen cards help!

It's a tricky one to call because even though you're not
using it for games it can still be of benefit. Let me have a
think mate.

Hm.. vlari and Drunken Mastah with 2 new computers.. cool.

Mastah, i don't know much about technical information on
screen cards, i read your two links, i think they are both
excellent. Therefore i can reccomend you to choose one of
them, then like you said, you won't be a games maniac on pc,
one of them will be adapted for your what you need. making
music etc.. This isn't much useful but...

xceque>once I get a conclusive answer, or tomorrow, when the
machine is ordered, you can delete all the posts before
yours and it WILL be... actually, let`s just make it about
that right away! Post your best screen test cards, people,
but please contribute any help or information you have.

fuckin` `ell.. just ordered, and turns out one of the things
I`m getting won`t be available until the 5th of next month,
and there`s another item that they don`t know when will be
in stock.

oh, well.. I`ll just have to keep figuring stuff out using
this linux crap.. if I had no internets, I wouldn`t know
when my lectures were and shit...
