Note that one of those video cards will have to be PCI -- I've never
seen a motherboard with two AGP slots.
Also, the Revolution IV is a ways behind the performance curve, and
XFree86 4 does not support it.
In other words, it's a nice display, but a crappy video card. SGI
also sells the flat panel with an Oxygen video card or an analog video
adaptor, but I have no experience with those.
