In general, no, you can't have 2 AGP cards (or on-board
chip) active at once. As you suggested, you can have
TwinView from NVIDIA, ie. dual-head display coming from one
VGA card. But ATI is developing something which can support
3 displays, one from on-board chip and two from add-on VGA
card. I don't know whether real products are ready or not.
Don't hold your breath.
My 2 cents.
