Dual AGP Board ever possible?

With OS support for multimonitor, I'd like to see a mobo with two AGP slots, you know, with say two Thunderbirds, so those multimonitor applications don't get slowed down. Is it possible? Ever? AGP and PCI multimonitor kinda annoys me.

But who needs it when you can get dual monitor outputs from one Card?

The only problem with dual monitor cards is that the second monitor output either has severely restricted or nonexistant 3D performance.

Imagine playing Unreal Tournament, with the second monitor being a rearview mirror, with full 3D graphics No one could sneak up on you then

AGP is a peer-to-peer connection, not a bus. One device and that's it.

i can see the obvious benefits of having more than one monitor in simulations (Midtow madness or Flight Sim 2002) and for uncluttering RPG Interfaces, but (yes, i know you're kidding, m8!) they arent exactly needed in the more popular FPS genre.

thanks for clearing the whole AGP thing, peter.

Yeah, but with a dual processor board, could it work?

[Peter M]

Dual processor boards still have just one chipset north bridge, thus only one AGP connection.

Dual north bridge arrangements are something you might see in server environments - like with the ServerWorks chipsets - but there you don't have AGP at all.

Kuasimodem - I'm not sure about this either, but I thought that you couldnt have two Directdraw (3D) surfaces..(which I think is a windows or a request limitation?). Ive done dual monitors with a Dualhead AGP card, and with a good AGP and really old PCI card, but never with a good PCI card, so I've never seen this before, and just thought it couldnt be done.
And I dont think you can have a rear view mirror anyways, unless that was programmed into the game.

I hear that on the new GF4'sand thier nView dual view, you can play DVD's on either screen, which I think is bout time they did that!!
