Ahh, never mind. Too late to edit my message, but I see that ISA isn't supported. My system doesn't have an AGP slot. Would dual PCI cards create much of a headache? No. Installing and setting up dual monitors on two PCI cards generally is a lot easier than installing and setting up dual monitors on one PCI and one AGP video card. I heard Matrox has a card that supports two monitors. Do they make a PCI card as well or only AGP? I only see AGP. As far as I know the dual headed version of the Matrox's G400 which supports two monitors is only available in an AGP version. btw, my current card has a second A/V input. I assume it's for a TV. Anyway to use this port for the second display? No. You need an output port to drive a TV display not an input port. Besides even if it was an output port it wouldn't work. Even though the format of the signal is different the same data is sent to your TV and your RGB ports. Others have reported good results using multiple ATI Expert 98s in multiple monitor applications. See posts 8962 and 8933.
