  I do not think such a beast exists.  While having more than one Advanced
Graphics Port on a core chipset is theoretically allowed by the AGP
specification (or so I am told), I do not think anyone has ever actually
built a chipset that has more than one port (AGP is not a bus).

  You need either a PCI video card, or a multi-port AGP card.  Given the,
ahem, special requirements of the 1600SW, I suspect the later option is
ruled out.  This will likely not be that big a deal; in practice, AGP's
performance advantage is mainly in marketing, and PCI cards are still quite
common.
