I'm currently in the process of purchasing a new graphics card (GeForce 4) but I'm having trouble deciding which one to get... Should I get the Leadtek card with "MyVivo" (video in/video out capabilities) or should I get the Inno3D with dual ramdacs (thus enabling you two use two monitors at once)?
How useful is it with two monitors? Is it worth the bother of putting my other (old) monitor up on my desk and then having it double the electromagnetic field around me, and also increasing the temperature in my room (two monitors generate more heat than one :P ). Maybe I should go for the slightly more expensive Leadtek card with video in/out instead? Any suggestions?

Both features are really good, but you must decide what YOU need the most.

If you plan on doing some video work, then video-in/out card will be awsome. But if you're not gonna need it for video, the two monitors setup is always recommended for Photoshop (tools on one monitor, and canvas on the other). However it's not so useful for 3d modeling programs.

As for myself i would pick tv-in/out

PS: A video capture card by itself usually costs $30-60.
