Dual display in Win2K is pretty easy. I had a Hercules 3D Prophet II and found an old, Cirrus Logic 5446 based PCI card, and all I had to do was install the card. On the first boot, Win detects the new card and prompts for drivers. after the reboot, the second monitor is blank until you go into display proerties and enable it with the "Extend desktop onto this display" checkbox. If you get any recent PCI video card, you should be able to do dual monitors no problem. Good luck!
 
I have no prob with an ATI AIW PRO AGP and Voodoo 3 PCI card running dual monitors in Win2k. Works wonderfully!
 
Yup, nothing to it...follow what martinm said and you should be okay. If you get weird things to happen, try moving your 2nd video card (the PCI one or course) to different slots.

I'm running my G520 and 900NF together. What a team!!
 
You won't have any problems. You can even tell w2k what moitor should be the primary, which I assume will be your AGP.
