    Video Card for Dual Monitors for HP m8430f

    I have a HP Pavilion m8430f (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883107657) and would like to be able to use dual monitors. The current video card will not allow me to do that. I'm having trouble finding a video card that can do this and support Vista 64bit. Ideally I'd like to buy a new video card without having to upgrade anything else (like the power supply).

    I think NVIDIA GeForce 8500 GT supports Dual monitors.

    Most current graphics cards offer dual outputs. Dual view just shares the cards resources between 2 monitors, thus you don't really need an upgrade, but if you want a better performance. Here is a better card.
