I need a recommendation for a ATI graphics card including part numbers to go into a power PC

This graphics card will be connected too 3 widescreen samsung tv's.

2 screens will be linked togethor and one will be a standalone.

The right graphics card needs to have:

compatibility with widescreen TV's running 70p/1080p thru DVI/HDMI connections

Twin head outputs in DVI to run two seperate web page applications too seperate TV screens

1920 x 1080 screen resolution with resolutions greater
able to handle 100mhz refreshes

Clear crisp fonts

enough memory to actually run smoothly

I Need a solution which is powerful and does what it says on the tin, with drivers for Windows XP.

By Power PC are you talking about a 2006 or earlier Apple? If so this post should be moved to the Apple/OSX forum. If not, I use a PowerColor HD 3870, each card has 2x DVI output and run on 512 MD GDDR4 RAM. I'm pretty sure if you get two of them and hook them up in a crossfire config you should be set (assuming your mobo supports cross fire of course).

I got mine a newegg.com several months ago, looks like they don't have that one at this time. Most of the GDDR4 cards seem to be going in the 160-180 range (for the 512 MB versions).
