From what I've heard, Vegas doesn't care about video cards and doesn't depend on them. I recently bought a GeForce4 card for my daughter's PC for $50 that has lots of game-playing power. I personally use an ancient Nvidia TNT2 card on my PC.

It might be nice to get a card that supports two monitors, but I'll have to leave suggestions there for someone else on this Board.

ah yes, support for two monitors, I didn't even think of that,,, that's a really good idea, are you familiar with any that have that?

Nvidia, ATI, and Matrox cards all do dual monitors. I would go for Nvidia or Matrox (ATI doesn't let you have 2 taskbars, a minor thing so maybe don't knock it out of the running right away).

newegg.com has a whole bunch of cheap cards, look at the pictures and see if they come with an adapter to see what combinations of DVI and VGA they do. I would get a Nvidia GF4 (older generation) card with the right outputs.

GeForce FX 5200 has dropped to below $100.00 now. Depending on what model you get it is a good card. 128 megas or ram, Open GL support and dual monitor support. The model I have the AGP model and it has Dual VGA and S-VHS out. I picked it up at either Staples or Office Max for $98.00 I think.
