If I put a cheap  16mb PCI video card in there along with the current AGP one could I  run dual monitors?  Anything special I have to do to get this to work?

I'm running an AGP G4 with Panther and four monitors.  The ATI video cards (PCI) came mostly from an 8500 in which they were previously used with OS 8.5. They are not far from 16 MB, if that.

I do have problems with some "modern" monitors. In particular a flat panel job I picked up on the cheap had to be swapped with a lesser one that the lady of the house had on her Intel iMac. The ATI cards wouldn't go that far.
