i'm sending over suggestions to my boss for a video card to purchase for my team (for dual monitors). requirements are that it has to be PCI interface, less than $100, and dual VGA outs.

anyone know if this one is any good?

if you r running XP.... you can always jsut get 2 single VGA output video card.......

or if the current computer already have one video card, you just need one more....

I really like that card (well I like the 5200 fx series) but other 5200 fx cards on ebay can be found for <40 shipped. Also look into MX geforce cards. Keep in mind that DVI-VGA adaptors exist incase you find a good deal on a DVI and VGA card. The, 2 super cheap VGA cards, idea is clever. I regularly throw out old VGA cards so I imagine you could find them easily.
