    I'm looking to hook up 2 monitors for day trading. My setup:

    - Dell 531
    - Vista SP1
    - AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5600+ 2.80 GHz
    - 2GB memory
    - NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE nForce 430

    The video card sucks; can't even display multiple charts from E*Trade software. So I either need to upgrade it to one with 2 ports, or buy 2 cards.

    Which option should I pursue and what card(s) are recommended?

    Thanks, geoff
