Linux Man...
I need a card that will be strictly for my daw. I have two RGB monitors that I want to use it on. Most dual cards look like they have one RGB and the other is digital or something that only an LCD monitor can take. If the adapters are cheap, or come with the cards that is fine. What card is recomended. A year ago the matrox g450 was, but now the times have changed a bit.
Any help would be appreciated.

If you're looking for a card strictly for a DAW and don't need really high end performance, the g450 may still work for you for dual monitors. You could probably find it for $60 on www.pricewatch.com. I've heard Matrox(www.matrox.com) is comming out with a whole new line of cards that will support dual monitors as well, but they'll be higher performance, which you may or may not need considering it's just a DAW. ATI (www.ati.com) has some dual monitor cards too. You could always just find some cheap card to put into your comp in addition to the one you're using for the dual monitors.
 
If you are only using it for your DAW and not gaming or anything (although it says its got a good 3d engine) I found a card at newegg.com by some company called jetway. It was only about 30bux. I was a bit scared that it wouldn't work because it was so cheap but I haven't had any problems. It uses ATI technology for its drivers. I can't remember the exact model number but it was an AGP (i think thats what they are called) card.

Of course I am mentioning this option if you are looking for something cheap, otherwise I don't know if I would risk it on a no-name.

I have a card (Radeon VE) that has the one analog port and the other digital - but both of my monitors are analog. I picked up the adapter for about $4.
