Choosing the multiple screen video card that is best for you.
As multi-monitor computing goes mainstream it continues to grow dramatically among
2D and 3D multi-monitor graphics for similar reasons. This is due in part to the fact that operating systems and software applications are using more and more video real estate for tool bars, application tools, and desk top interfaces. CAD users, desktop publishers, financial institutions, and many other user groups are utilizing multi-screen technology.

Below is a chart of all the most popular video cards which are designed to support 2D and 3D applications and run under Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows 2000, NT, Mac, Unix, and Linux operating systems. Choosing the card that is right for you is largely determined by the type of work you will be doing on your computer, how many screens you wish to run, and which operating system you run.
