Dual head graphics card

I've built myself a computer for web design that is near silent. I'm looking for a card that meets this criteria:

-nVidia-based chipset
-Fanless
-Dual head (2 X DVI plz
-AGP (PCI and PCIE are not options)
-Power equal or greater than Geforce2

That basically sums it up. It's not going to be used for gaming in the least. A Geforce2 would do in this case. Any info on a card with this stuff would be great.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Just about every single video card currently made supports Dual Video Cards. Name a price range.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

i don't see any nvidia dual-head(dvi) video cards at all that are agp.

the only card that conforms to your guidelines is http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814102580 but it's not nvidia, and it's expensive. you probably can get 1dvi and 1vga port very easily but 2 dvi is harder.

How about this one?

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814122222

Only problem is, it doesn't have dual dvi port. Rather, it has a D-sub and a dvi port. Most of the time video cards come with a D-sub to dvi adapter. If not, just look for one at your local computer shop.

FELIPE NO

Dual head displays are usually rather expensive and used for workstations in some kind of work environment as they can't play games (well not properly anyway). In your case, if you want dual dvi it's probably better to get a mid range gaming graphics card with dual dvi like a 6600gt. It's much cheaper than any of the dedicated multi display cards I know of. And anything that has single vga and a dvi output doesn't count as those are designed for one display only but with the option of outputing to both as extra functionality.

"Doesn't count"? They work perfectly fine for anything short of graphics rendering. This guy's using the machine for WEB DESIGN. Giant, intensive activity there, ayep.
