I am looking for a quiet, low-power, budget video card that supports two 24" monitors (1900 x 1280?) for a Windows XP system (PCI and PCIe slots).
In particular, I find it hard to tell whether a graphics card supports two monitors. Apparently "dual-link DVI" is not for two monitors, rather it's two cables to support one big monitor? A lot of the cards I am looking at have 1 DVI, 1 HDMI, and 1 D-SUB (VGA??) slot. It's unclear if I can hook up one monitor with DVI and one with HDMI or not.
How can I tell if a card supports dual monitors?
Examples I've been looking at:
Google is your friend.

This shows "MultiMonitor: Yes"
Don't let "Dual-link" confuse you -- that just means the connection supports higher bandwidth, it doesn't have to do with multiple displays. Be aware of the different DVI connections though, you may need a specific type to make higher resolutions possible.
