My main rig is an AGP-based motherboard. I just got another 2001FP, and I'd like to drive it with the DVI input. Right now, I'm running an ATI 9800 PRO.

What dual DVI AGP cards are available, and not a downgrade from my 9800 PRO?

I found this at NewEgg: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814143027 but I don't know how its performance compares with my existing card.

I've got a PCI-Express based motherboard in a box that I've been using as a test client, and it is comparable in perf to my main rig. Should I migrate to that machine? It seems like there's lots more PCI-E cards available with dual DVI, and I'd feel better for the future, anyway.

I don't game (much), so I'm not super-concerned with 3D performance.
 
that should be faster, but it's not really the best deal price-wise :/ Pretty much all the agp cards are that way now, though
 
Thanks, J! That looks pretty good.

Oddly, the NewEgg site lists "Intel Pentium 4 Prescott class processor or higher (LGA775 processor package) or AMD Sempron/Athlon" as a requirement. Why is an LGA775 processor package required?

The BFG GeForce 6800 GS AGP 256MB DDR3 card you link to at ZZF doesn't appear to have dual DVI.

omg dont get a 6600.. for crise sakes we all know you want a deal.. but dont go that low.. that card is horrible.... if you dont get into the 6800 your just losing money

if your going to be paying that much get one of these.. they are cheap with dual DVI and they will own that 6600GT

A 6800 isn't much better than a 6600gt. It will not own it. Unless you get one that is unlockable. Which is not guaranteed.
