Hi, Ido.
AGP stands for "accelerated graphics port", and is THE fastest connection
between your motherboard and graphics card.
a terse explanation is found at:
http://computers.cnet.com/hardware/0-1018-8-20548580-16.html
i am not saying that you cannot install multiple display cards on a
motherboard, but have heard only horror stories from folks who have tried
doing so. you will not get 3D accleration on the other displays. you CAN do
this, but would be disappointed compared to getting one of these new
multi-monitor boards.
apologies if i do not understand your message.
