ATI Radeon™ 9250 DIAMOND STEALTH S9250PCI 256MB DDR DVI & TV Out
I would like to add a second monitor to my system. The goal is to use two monitors for work/internet, and the second to use as a TV and work/internet. I think I’ve zeroed in on the monitor/tv – Samsung T220HD 22" Widescreen HDTV Monitor - 1680x1050, WSXGA+, 1000:1 Contrast Ratio, 5ms, 2x HDMI, DVI, VGA. I believe the Samsung already has a tv tuner built into it. That’s what I get from the Samsung specs. My problem is finding a card that supports two video outputs-one for each monitor compatible with my system limitations. My system is a Dell Dimension 3100/E310 running xp pro, with one pci express 1x slot, and two pci slots(one being used for a fax modem), a 235watt power supply, and a Pentium 4 with one gig of ram. If possible, I would also like to use the system to play games such as Call of Duty.
I think I've zeroed in on the Graphics Card [S9250PCI256] ATI Radeon™ 9250 DIAMOND STEALTH S9250PCI 256MB DDR DVI & TV Out. Does it support two monitors? The specs on it seem conflicting. If it does not, are there cards that you can recommend?

Hi Frank9904, Your manual is HERE, and the specks for the card HERE. Your good to go on that card, it will support 2 monitors. If you intend to use 2 DVI ports, then i would suggest you buy this as well.
