    I'm looking for a decent AGP video card which will run well with Kubuntu.

    I'd like to have dual DVI outputs on the card to make it easier for me to run dual monitors with Kubuntu... but the end goal is to just get a dual monitor setup with my existing 19" flat screens.

    I'm not a heavy gamer but would like to be able to have Beryl enabled without worrying about running out of video memory.

    Price range ~$100.00

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks! Believe it or not I have this exact card on my desk right now, but while sorting through all of the video cards, I accidently ordered the "PCI Express" version with 2 DVI outputs and was pretty disappointed yesterday when I went to plug it in. lol.

    I'm going to return this one and order the AGP version... having a VGA and DVI port might work better for me anyway because one monitor is hooked up to a KVM with a VGA connector.

    I assume that these video cards with two outputs are designed to allow multiple monitors now? A few years ago, you just had to run two video cards.

    Yeah, they are designed for dual head now. I remember the days of dual video cards :(
