Small form factor video card
I'm looking for a video card that is small form factor with 2 (or more) outputs, for a dual monitor setup. I mean small form factor in that the silver face piece has to be one of those short versions. PCI is good, no power horse or anything, just something reliable that will fit. Any suggestions? (linux support is a must)

Re: Small form factor video card
Does it have any AGP or PCIe slots, or just PCI?

Re: Small form factor video card
Its got a single pci-e slot fromwhat i understand. No AGP. Considering I'm not gonna be doing any serious gaming, I guess we could use the pci-e slot too.

The VGA connector is on a short cable, you can always run it out the adjacent slot.
Here are all the low-profile ready PCI video cards Newegg has to offer. Some have a second port, some use a breakout cable,

Re: Small form factor video card
So.. I know this probably sounds dumb, but i can run any arrangement of those ports simultaneously and independently? (Its not going to just copy screen 1 to screen 2) 
So I could actually potentially run 3 screens from that one card? And for the low-profile, it can just have it hanging in another bay right next to it? I never even thought of that to be honest. 
I was looking for a low profile with both ports in the smaller bracket, not realizing to just run it to the other bay.
Thanks bic. You pull through once again.
