Does 2 CPUs mean @ Video Cards?

Here is my theoretical setup an Iwill DVD266u-RN with 1Gb DDR, 2 933Mhz P3s, could I use two video cards one for each cpu if they are the same card. 2xGeForce3?
 
you can use more than one vidcard for multimonitor displays .. however you can not do 2x geforce3 since no monterboards have more than 1 AGP slots. Also most games only support display thru 1 interface at a time .. so it would be a waste of money to got 2 good gaming cards. I recommend a good strong vidcard for your main display .. and then any PCI card that can run the resolution, refresh, and bitrate you wish to use for the second display
 
stiganator, what you said cannot be done, and is not how it is done.

the video and processor systems are pretty much independent from each other. and the processors do not control the video cards.

what having 2 processors mean is having the ability to spill over processor cycles onto a second processor instead of waiting for the processor to finish doing certain tasks. or sharing tasks between the processors.

having 2 video cards, via the windows multi-display adapter, means having more desktop space to work with, as opposed to one display adapter at a high resolution.
