What would you recommend me?  Probably will buy from ebuyer.co.uk, unless someone knows somewhere cheaper.

I require a card which can support 2 monitors at 1024x768 resolution.  None of those crappy quality second monitor plugs, I would like two monitor plugs that work equally well.

My budget is at the most £150.  Anyone got any reccomendations?

see if you can find something that looks like this: PowerColor Radeon 9600XT 128MB DDR AGP, ATI 9600XT, DVI-I, TV-Out, Retail

I think it should suit your needs.. found it in a Norwegian webshop.. it was about £100-120..
