Does the radeon have a dual monitor output?

You would have to go look at the specs. It should say on there, but even if it did, u would have the same picture on both monitors

Really? The NVIDEA one comes with software I guess to make it where you can operate 2 seperate monitors from the same computer. I have the media center and it would be nice to be able to watch TV on full screen and then keep doing stuff on the computer on the other monitor.

Also remember IF you want to watch TV on your computer AND work on it with 2 screens you NEED a TV tuner... ATI ALL-IN-WONDER type card would be what you are looking for or a just a tuner to go into a PCI slot. I could be wrong, but I don't think nVIDEA has a tv tuner in bedded card.

I am with Bone WHY would you want to watch TV and do things on the computer at the same time? I guess I could see it if you wanted to do some type of video editing. Remember this, TV watching and computer work (gaming) at the same time would take your CPU and work the shit out of it. So if your CPU isn't in the 3.0MHz+ (intel) or 2.2MHz+ (amd) range forget about it, even if nVIDEA has the in bedded card, you went with ATI ALL-IN-WONDER or a PIC card.

What you are looking for is a MULTImedia Center. To upgrade your
computer to a Multimedia Center you will need an ATI Radeon videocard,
some other stuff and a lot of software that you can get here:

You can use both cards and a hell of a lot others versions to upgrade
your computer to a Multimedia Center,

Besides, an ATI All-In-Wonder card + remote etc. is much more
expensive then a ATI Radeon, and keep in mind that ThaSnyper doesn't
want to spend a lot of money!!

Guys, I have a good computer. HP Media Center about a year old. Just a Blah Vid Card. NVIDIA 5 series. I cant remember at the moment. I have the TV tuner and media center and whatnot. I have 2 monitors one is a 19 and one is a 17. Id like to get a better card so I can use both monitors. Im not looking to GAME and TV at the same time. I use my computer as my only TV. And so Id like to have a monitor just for the Tv and one that I can just sit and do whatever I need to on without having to minimize and all that jazz. Plus a better card would be nice to play recent games. Is that a good enough explanation? ha
