be prepared, typical questions asked are approaching :-)

So I decided to look into blowing that lovely government check I got. I came here when I built my new PC back around xmas and found invaluable help. I LOVE my computer. Time has come for a video card, one and possibly two LCD's ~21" or more.....

I've got.....
Case - X-Qpack 2 mini case (which i love)
Proc - Intel core 2 Duo 2.33
Ram - 2g's of ram.
Mobo - Asus P5KPL-VM
Xp slots - 1 x16-PCI-E, 1 X x1-PCI-E

So Basically I'm looking for some good bang for my buck on a video card. I do 3D graphics 3Ds Max mostly. I game and work, gaming is also work so I game while I work.

I'm looking to eventually get dual LCD's ~21" or bigger so I can bring my work home and work on a system equal the offices; so dual HDMI is gonna be a must.

The other thing I'm looking to do is add strength to my wireless. My wife and I are in an apt. and the router and my computer are maybe 50 ft apart but there are a few walls in between and my computer usually doesn't get the best signal. so I'd like to boost that.

Any help is welcome
 
As much as it hurts to say, the 4850/4870 is prolly the best bang for the buck card out there at the moment. It has dual dvi ports, which i am assuming you mean dvi and not hdmi. if you need to boost your wireless signal, i would like to know what router and wireless card you are using.
 
well, dual 21" screens is gonna require a lot of power, so wait a little longer and buy an ATI 4870X2, or crossfire a pair of 4870's
 
Hey thanks for the tips. I'll look into those cards. I get a discount on dell through work so I'll prob get monitors though there. Ya I meant DVI, thanks.

As for wireless....
Router Linksys - WRT54G
Network Card - WMP54G
