The ATI 8500 will run two VGA monitors, is AGP so you could sell the 
nVidia card and save a PCI slot but you'll need a DVI to VGA adaptor 
for one of the monitors (about $20). I've used the 8500 in a G4 
Sawtooth with a couple of Sony monitors with no problems. I've used the 
DVI to VGA adaptor with the Sawtooth and a Ti PB also, again with no 
problems.
