My computer has a 250w power supply so i am having a really hard time finding something that will work with that, i do not have AGP, and i am also using vista. Does anyone know something that will work for me? I do not game, just enjoy movies and such on my LCD...please helllp!

Try to find an older PCI geforce 4MX card. Those will play movies just fine and many have dual monitor support. I doubt they will draw excessive power.

you are another one that wasted your money on Vista, first of all vista is not for your system,, your system is to slow for it, next you need top end AGP graphics card, and a gig of memory to run vista.
you asked what will work with your system the plain answer Vista won't, Linux will, now Linux leaves Vista standing in the shadows,
download Ubuntu Linux it is free, and all the software you will ever need is also free, cd burning, dvd ripping, video players, mp3 players, you name it it is free,
now what you need to do is download it from the link below, run it of the live cd until you get to know it, it's just like windows, point and click. it is more secure and the support is great
download it from the link below

Yes, if you have a dual monitor card. The monitor does not draw power from the psu, it draws power from the monitors power supply.
The dual monitor cards you can get anywhere if you don't have one.
Good luck,

Another alternative is get a signal splitter that comes with it's own power supply.
