Default Mobo w/ dual agp 8x slots

I'm looking for a motherboard with 2 agp 8x slots. Tryin to run 2 nVidia 6200's to simultaneously run 4 monitors but cant seem to find a motherboard that would support that.

Help please?

Thanks in advance.

as far as i know, sli was not used on AGP boards, so no two AGP slots on a motherboard was never a reality.

I don't think he's talking about SLI, I think he wants to run the cards at the same time but just to use 4 monitors.

If you have to use AGP I suggest you use one AGP and a PCI card. I don't think they ever made motherboards with two AGP slots.
