To comment on this alone, I have seen systems with PCI bus run
two video cards. You aparently need to have cards that *are* PCI
compliant and generally not SVGA compliant. However, not following
PeeCee hardware too closely, I've heard that several mass market cards
will dual (or more) head.
Note that you *can* have one mono and one VGA head on almost
any PC bus. This is actually reasonably common.
Dave.
