Graphic card for Vista

I need some help with choosing graphic card for Vista.
What I need is:
Dualhead so I can connect two screens
Good 2D speed

What I do not need:
3d speed (I do not plays games, I do not use Aero vista)

The graphic card should be without fan and should not take more power
than 15W thus not generating extra hit.

Any suggestion?

I wonder why it is so difficult to find such simple graphic card.
On my old computer I was using XP with AGP matrox card, and it was more
than enough. No more agp socket thus I can not use my old graphic card
in the new computer.
I bought cheep silent Asus3450 (Ati HD3450) but it is getting to hot, it
generate to much hot.

Not many into old technology I guess. That works for you tho.

On your way to work or on your way home drive by one of your local mom and
pop corner computer stores, explain your problem and they will go thru their
junk bin and find you a card. They might want a buck or two.

You are unlikely to find any card with a lower power requirement than the
3450 you have.

Consider http://www.zalman.co.kr/ENG/product/...ad.asp?idx=226 or
similar if it is really getting too hot, but many cards will work safely at
quite high temperatures.

Alternatively, fit a large - say 120mm - case fan to improve airflow in the
case.

I just put this in my VistaHomePremium machine. Quiet, cool. I don't
game, I do run Aero (but don't really care about it), and all I wanted
was a card that ran wide screen digital. For the price, this is what
I chose, and it came highly recommended.
