Pigboy RE: - Your question on multi monitor cards...
You are asking for one card to give you two monitor capability in an AGP port with video out. Here it is, direct from the Appian website I had mentioned in my earlier post to you. This card has 4mb per monitor, they also offer an 8mb/monitor card called the Jeronimo Pro...

PS - By the way, Dell uses the Jeronimo Pro in their workstation line. STB builds a multi monitor card called the MVP that is used in Compaq's workstation line. You can get info on it at www.stb.com.
