Hi, sorry to bug ya but you were the mod helping me in a post I was trying to post an update to but for whatever reason it wont let me post (I can post in other areas of the site) just not a reply to this thread, just was a followup post saying what I did and how it was working, since I have had 2 private messages about this asking me how did it go etc from folks who i guess found the thread thru google searches and were curious of the outcome.
Here is the thread,

when i try to reply to the post with my comment (see comment below) it just says i dont have permission to post yet i am logged in and can post or start new threads) maybe this is due to the age of the thread or has the thread been locked or considered OLD and not able to be replied to?
(((my reply was going to be)))

Just a closing chapter on this and again thanks to all who helped narrow the choices down, i ended up going with this card from newegg for 2 main reasons
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814127293
First no fans, second no external power supply needed, I am not a gamer and the needs were for more desktop room while doing things like photoshop and whatnot, so this card was a perfect match and has been in the machine and running great (no heat or display issues) for a few months solid now
The only bad part and looking inside my case i would have had to do this with ANY card I put in, was the case had an internal cage area for an HP slide in drive, I had to remove that (nothing perm, all just screwed in) no cuts or modifications were needed) just it was in the way of any card i was going to try and get in there...
Beyond taking that cage out (no loss to me) I am very happy to have my dual displays up and going now.
Bill
