WHen you say two monitors, I'm not sure whether you want two display the
same output to two audiences (get/make a "splitter" cable) or take advantage
of Win 98's ability to spread your desktop across two monitors.
In the latter case, you need either something like the Matrox G400 (coming
real real soon...) or a pair of cards that can coexist, one for each monitor.
I know G200s can do that -- since you've only one AGP slot, one would have
to be PCI. I expect that ATI can do this too.
Diamond sells a wide range of cards that use different chipsets and don't
*seem* to be very coordinated. It's reasonably likely that two identical
high-end DIamond cards may be able to do this, but if they're form different
product lines then this might be less likely.
Lots of cheap SVGA cards -- even including some of the low-end AGP cards --
may conflict with each other rather than coexisting.
