Default PCI Dual Head Video card ?

Anyone know any PCI *Dual Head* video cards that work with PT 6.9/Digi 002 Rack ?

I have been using a stock PCI Video card (no real probs with it far as I know).
I don't have any AGP slots in my system, but I would like to add a dual head video card, will have to be a PCI card though.

I have a Digi002 Rack, PT 6.9, Win XP Pro SP2.
Dell Desktop, 2.4ghz, 2gb RAM.
No built in Video & *No AGP Slot*.

Any suggestions?

Are you (or anyone else) currently using this card?
Is it Digi approved/tested?

I didn't see anything in Digi's compatiblity list beyond use "AGP graphics".
I didn't realize my Dell 400SC doesn't have an AGP slot till it was too late.

I'm ready to upgrade to 2 LCD's now, but want to minimize causing problems with PT.

check carefully what you are buying many new video cards are PCI-Ex which will not work in a standard PCI slot
the FX5200 is made to be a AGP card, and i would advise agenst the FX5200 any day. i dont believe its duel head as such they just do some strange stuff to get duel monitor
very few PCI video cards are being made, i believe Matrox are still making some and the yare true duel head

PCI cards are known to be problematic with Pro Tools. The fact that your current PCI card seems to be working ok does not guarantee that a different PCI card will perform the same.
