I have an HP Pavilion a6610t desktop with HP w1907 monitors; running Windows 7 32-bit. I would like to upgrade to a graphics card that supports dual monitors. Gaming is not a factor though I would like a card that does not become the bottle neck when surfing or working remotely. I have an available PCIe-x16 slot. My price range is around $100US.
What should I look for other than PCIe-x16 and the ability to support dual monitors when shopping for a graphics card? I think that the AMD Radeon HD 6570 is a good starting point. What do you think?
Any information will be much appreciated.

Here are the specs and configurable option for your HP Pavilion a6610t CTO Desktop Computer. According to the specs, your system came from the factory with a 250 watt power supply. Most retail graphics cards require a minimum system power supply rating of 300 watt or higher. The Radeon HD 6570 you noted requires a 400 watt or larger power supply. The Corsair CX500 and CX600 are highly recommended, are forum favorites, and are known to fit most HP cases. Please read Big_Dave's Guide for Selecting a Discrete Video Card for helpful information about selecting a graphics card that fits your computer and meets your needs.
