Hi, I wanted to know if anyone knew what type of Dual DVI Video Card I can use? I want to hook up two monitors to together to work as one. My motherboard only has one PCI Express x16 graphics expansion slot and three normal PCI expansion slots. I was going to buy a Dual DVI Video Card from Tigerdirect but I'm not sure which one to get because after reading the requirements needed they all say to use a PCI Express card, your computer must have at least one available PCI Express slot and I only have the one PCI Express slot. If you can some advice on which card I can use it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Seconded, I have 2 of these in SLI Mode, and they are great for general use, and decent gaming. Nothing too high of course.
