I just picked up a second monitor and am currently running an old GENOA generic 4mb PCI card (yes 4mb). My primary monitor is running on a Geforce 4 Ti4200 which has 3 outputs. CRT / TV / LCD

Could i buy an LCD- > CRT (not sure what the actualy adapter is called) and use the LCD output to drive a second CRT monitor? Or is one or the other?
 
Yeah, with a DVI->VGA adapter you can run dual CRTs with that card. The Ti4200 has dual RAMDACs built into the chip, so you can always run dual VGA if the card has 2 VGA, or 1 VGA and 1 DVI outputs.

The reason some other cards like certain models of the 8500/9100 series can't run dual VGA is because the R200 core only has 1 built in RAMDAC to drive one analog monitor. The RV250 and RV280 (Radeon 9000/9200 models) have dual RAMDACs built in. A second external RAMDAC is required to drive a second analog monitor and not all 8500/9100 cards include it, which is why some models are limited to VGA + DVI only for dual output.
