You shouldn't do.  The multiple monitors setup is controlled through
software in the os. Try taking the AGP one out to verify that the PCI
card works at all.

I tried an old (working) PCI graphics board in my PC as a second monitor
board, but already at booting none of the screens showed anything at
all! Do I need to preset anything in the boot-setup at all?
