Dual Displays

Hi all,

What is the best (and cheapest!) way to run dual monitors on the new Mac Pro (Nahelem)?

It came with a Nvidia GT120 512MB. Now would it be best to buy another one of these?

Or buy an ATI 256MB dual head card?

I mostly use Photoshop, so I don't mind if I downgrade to a 256MB card. But I would love to use my dual 22"s with it. Any suggestions for this?

Another quick question - is the Apple warranty on Mac Pro's worldwide? I can't seem to find a straight answer on this. I have read it was only on portable devices (e.g. iPods, macbooks) but read it may have changed. (And the Apple legal page is a nightmare! Haha..)

Thanks in advance!

I'm not sure of the best way, but I just bought the Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter and I'm running two monitors (22" and 19"). For $29 it's probably the cheapest.

Yes. At least it worked for me here in Brazil. I bought my MacPro in New York and the Sata controller died on the second week. The local Apple Service Center replaced it without cost, but it took a month for the new motherboard to arrive.
