I've got an older Quicksilver, model with 120 gig drive limit, that needs a new display card. The machine is setup sorta like a media center machine. The old graphics card was a dual display flavor. It's in a rack system that has a rack keyboard and monitor built in, and then we had a remote monitor that we were mirror monitoring that is away from the setup. What would be nice is that if there was a graphics card that would still support dual displays and mirror monitoring so that I could run the rack mount monitor and then instead of going to another monitor located somewhere else, but use the TV sitting next to it and use S-Video as the new signal source.

Is there such dual display card that will allow me to use S-Video and a Monitor at the same time and mirror the display, or do I keep some stock AGP card to run the rack monitor and buy a second PCI card that has S-Video out to run the remote TV? What's available and what should I look for as specs as AGP speeds, I think this machine can only do 4x but not sure.

Thanks for any input...
