I'm proud of myself, I think I found the perfect card for me.
I have a 533DP with a factory GeForce2. I'm wanted to get a twinview to replace it, but that is nearly impossible. I wanted to do more than jsut slap a cheap ATi card in an PCI slot. Here is my solution!
Its a PCI nVidia Geforce 2 400 with twinview. This will allow me up to 3 monitors. Its for PC, but I can flash the rom to get it to work right? Some people said they bought GF 400's and they've worked right out of the box?! What do ya'll think about this plan? Also, it doesn't say, but I would assume this card has two VGA ports?

Yes. It's safe to assume that the card has two VGA ports. However, I don't know if that particular model works with Macs.

It's better than getting a GeForce2 MX from Apple. The replacement part from Apple costs something like $600.

I was actually going to buy a brand new 733 from apple bto'd with jsut a twin veiw over a standard geforce, then i would get it, swap the card with my regular geforce 2, and sell it back on ebay as a stock 733, which it would be... with the monitor deals, i could have possibly gotten a monitor with it and broke even with a student discount, but I don't wanna float that much money around for that long.
