The above post is spam or something ...
If you don't run any 3D applications / games at all, a card as cheap as a radeon 4650 will do.

Unless you're running modern games or 30'' displays, any dedicated card with two outputs will suffice.

If you're on a budget, you can try if you get satisfactory results by running both screens off your integrated graphics.
If you upgrade to a dedicated graphics card, you should probably upgrade the power supply unless you get a low-power/entry-level model.

When I search newegg for a 9800GT card there are maybe 15 different ones made by different companies all called a 9800GT. Which one of them is a better brand?
