Hi,
I'm considering buying the following Graphics Card and cable:
Sapphire Radeon 9250 128Mb AGPx8
http://www.ebuyer.com/product/112761
Plexus DVI-I Single Link to VGA Cable
http://www.ebuyer.com/product/130559
I want to run two Flat Screen monitors, both having 15 pin VGA cables. The Motherboard supports AGPx8.
The above Graphics card supports two monitors, with VGA and DVI-I outputs; I'm running windows XP.
Have I covered everything please? Is this card ok? I'm only running desktop applications etc; I don't need it for gaming etc. (there is a 256Mb option for the above card, but I don't want to spend the extra if I don't need it).
Many thanks.

Thanks for the reply,
Any idea if my PSU will be ok with the new Graphics Card - it's only 250W.
I don't really want to have to change it - the new screen plus Graphics card will have cost enough already!!.
many thanks.

I owuld expect it to be fine. Is it replacing an existing card? If so it won't be a problem. The best thing is to try it and if you experience problems then change the PSU.It's my problem, it's my problem
If I feel the need to hide
And it's my problem if I have no friends
And feel I want to die0
