...workstation server (isn't that an oxymoron?)

...from hell (wouldn't that be a refurbished Pentium 233MMX system with 
96 meg of ram and a 6 gig hard drive?? )

Sounds like your system would be from some other place....

As for dual head video cards.. I purchased some dual head NVIDIA based 
cards with DVI+svga AND a separate dual-headed VGA (db15).  The card had 
256Meg of Ram..and was AGP 8x. I can get the exact model number later if 
you want...IF that is the kind of card you are talking about.
