OT: Deciding on a new graphics card

I'm currently looking at this one:

Can it support two monitors?

99% of video cards these days have two VGA or DVI (simple, bundled adapter to connect VGA monitor here) outputs. Even budget-range 8xxx cards have em (though they might cheap out with DVI + VGA). For the card you linked, look at the Specifications tab; it shows 2 DVI under Ports. You can also see on the picture that it has 2 DVI ports, as well as a S-Video out.

The 8800GT 512MB is a very solid card, and about the most expensive card you'll get before the price/performance ratio starts going to infinity.

"So I could buy a PCE-E 2.0 card and it would work with the PCI-E 1.0 slot? "

Yep.

Thanks, all. Looks like I found my new card.

One question left: How long until the price goes down, or has it already gone down?

That's about how much a 8800GT 512MB cost back in December (though you had to find it on sale or pay an extra $40).
