W2K docs claim to support up to 10 cards/displays, so it should work. They can be any combination of AGP or PCI. Go to the Microsoft site get Q238886, "How to set up and troubleshoot multiple monitors in Windows 2000".
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q238886 You can determine whether an adapter is compatible by checking the HCL at http://www.microsoft.com/hcl/default.asp Select "display" for the search condition. You can also enter your specific adapter model. You will get a matrix of OS's, display adapters, logo compatibility. Click on a specific listing to get details. Any reason to invest in a special dual card? Why not just use the inexpensive ones, assuming you have enough slots available. I suppose the performance is better. I just checked pricewatch.com, $54 - Dual 128MB $39 - Dual 64MB $42 - Dual 32MB $26 - Dual 16MB $92 - Quad 64MB $65 - Quad 32MB Obviously price is not a significant factor.
