Hello,

Right now I have (2) 24" monitors using onboard video which is ATI Radeon HD 3300. My question is that I will need a video card and don't know where to start, I will be getting 1 or 2 more monitors for the stock market. I will not be playing games at all and will be only used for displaying charts and very basic stuff. I would like to keep the same or slightly better video than my onboard which is ATI Radeon HD3300.

Does it matter what size monitors I use when getting a video card weather I have a 15" or 30" does that affect the video card? Also does memory matter?

These are my expansion slot on my mobo

PCI Express 2.0 x16
2, running at x16 or x8/x8

PCI Express x1
3

PCI Slots
2


My price range is around $30-40

Would this work or could I get a better one for my money?

Thanks for everyone's help once again.

I would stick with just ATI rather than try to get all the drivers cooperating. That first card seems fine.
 
It doesn't matter much if the only thing you're doing is stock charty stuff. I'd go with the 4350 because Pro cards (like the FireGL) can act weird sometimes.
