Need a video card to run twin 24" monitors

I'm moving from a single 22" to a dual 24" monitor setup, and don't think my nVidia 256MB card is up to the challenge... so I'm looking for a new video card as well.
 
Can anyone recommend a reasonably-priced (DAW-use only, no gaming) card for this setup?  Thanks!
 
(If it matters, my system specs are below).

    your existing card should be fine almost any video card can run 2 24"  its when you get into the 2x 30" that can be an issue
    try before you buy a new one

    If you're looking for a new video card, I'd get an HD5450 (passive cooled)
    Inexpensive, exactly what you need for DAW purposes (nothing more... nothing less)

    Thanks, guys.  I will test before buying, of course, but now I know what to get if I need one.
