Dosnt have to be just ATI

And as for dual monitors, today is actually the first day im using them. My laptop has the GeForce Go 7800 Ultra which i never took advantage of untill today. I wanted to play a game, and being that I couldnt on my PC, i hooked up my RCT monitor to my laptop (cuz i cant stand the LCD screen) and....**** sweet graphics

And yes i game alot

My video card isn't program, but I would still like to update it, since there are some games that I would like to play but the graphics would be bad unless I did update it.

I'd go with ATI if I were you. They seem to have a better grasp in the gaming community.

For people who aren't gamers, you should get the cheapest video card, since you only need stronger ones if you game.

Well depends! still at least you should buy a 128Mb even cheap or not! at least in nowadays PCs at least a 128Mb card is needed!
