     Yes, dual monitors only works with PCI and AGP video cards, not with
ISA cards. Even with PCI and AGP cards there can be problems. For instance
on many older boards (and even some newer ones) the PCI bus is initialized
first, meaning that your PCI card would become primary. This is a problem
since usually the AGP card is the higher performance card and people want
that one to be primary. Other problems are card specific, some cards don't
like living with other cards. Good luck. TTYL
