Another Video card

Hi,

I'd like to use a second Display (only 14") with my desktop pc, to go with the 17" display I already have. This will help with one of the computer design packages I use (i.e. instructions on the small screen and design on the large screen).

The computer is a Packard Bell imedia 1307, with a Celeron 2.93GHz CPU and 703Mb of RAM. It has integrated Video at the moment, plus an AGP socket on the motherboard. Can anyone give me any pointers as to what video card to fit please? I don't play games, fast or fancy graphics etc. so nothing clever is required. Just something to do the job at a cheap price!!

Many thanks.

    One of the cheaper ones here should do fine....

    * ATi (AGP)
    * nVidia (AGP)

    If you want a better bargain, look on eBay. Any card 64Mb or more with one DVI (not a must but better if it does) & one VGA socket should be OK. G
