Looking to get a second card for my workstation tower without buying a new motherboard. I've got a PCI (not pci-e) slot free and may come into having a third monitor. I need it simply to display either documents or reference images, not for 3 monitor gaming or 3D (do that on my 24" monitor). If it's a slim card, that would be even better, so I could swap it into my micro case in times of urgency (ie when my tower is throwing a bitchfit). i am also not looking to use crossfire or sli. thanks.
Any ideas what my options are, guys?

I'd keep the chip manufacturer the same, so what do you have now? Nvidia (http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=2010380048%201069609642%201305520548%20106792522 %201067942535%201068320729&name=1GB) or ATI (http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=2010380048%201069609642%201305520549%20106792627&name=Radeon%20HD%204000%20series)?
Hopefully you have Nvidia :)

Get one of those 4350 512MB's then, the drivers should be the same.
