Hey guys.. I have always used a matrox 650 for my dual monitor setup. It doesn't have a lot of RAM but I've never needed it to. This computer just uses RDP and Outlook all day long :)


I need to find a video card that is fairly capable of running Vista (Matrox has ZERO compatibility)

Suggestions?

As previously said in the forums here, Vista will be using DirectX 10 and none of the video cards on the market at the moment support hardware dx10, so I'd say wait for the next generation of video cards. Anyway, by that time Vista will have had (at least) some bugs discovered and plugged.

Directx10 video cards will not be here to next year, if you want a new card now, waiting for a D3D10 card will be a long wait..
