> does anyone know if there is such thing as motherboards with 2 AGP slots?

Accelerated Graphics Port- No. One to a customer...

Dual Monitor setups are run through video cards with two video out ports.

You can buy KVM switches if you are looking to run multiple monitors.

Good info here

(not an endorsement but one of the first google search returns for KVM)

The KVM switch is important for running multiple PC's with Windows OS's as
windows does not run "headless" unlike Linux.

<tip type="hardware switches">
mechanical A/B switch boxes do not run new motherboards with  DDR, PC2100
memory type the new BIOS's poll the ports and they lose the  mouse and
keyboards.
this applies to 266MHZ bus speed Mboards.
</tip>

<tip type="hardware switches">
KVM are passive Keyboard, Video and Mouse switches for running multiple PC's
with a single Keyboard, Monotor and Mouse. They have the advantage of
returning a signal to faster motherboards when the BIOS is polling the ports
for devices.
