I have an AIW-AGP and a V3-2k, and they work fine.

I imagine two ATIs would do it too.

im using win2k radeon 64mg and a mighty savage4. No probs at all. I have just installed the latest ati drivers and they have made the multi monitor support a wee bit qwerky ie it places all my icons etc on my secondary monitor. Previously to this set up I had a g 400 max which was a far more elegant multi monitor solution.

W2K with the primary monitor being a AIW Radeon AGP, and the secondary an old 4MB Matrox PCI. Worked fine.

My machine at work has an ATI Rage Pro Turbo AGP and an piece of crap PCI 2mb ATI Mach64 in it, and they play well together. I've also got a machine with an AIW-128 16mb AGP and a Matrox Millenium 4mb PCI working together. I would say you should pick up one of the old Millenium cards. You can find them at various places on the web used for about $30-40, and you can't beat Matrox's image quality. Stay away from any earlier S3 card. They don't support dual monitors at all.
