PCI Dual Monitor Support

I have a Dell SC420 with Business Server installed. I need a PCI card with dual monitor support. DVI or DB-15 will work (or a combo of both)
My problem is that I cant find a card that will work. I have a GeForce FX 5500 that I thought should work, but the drivers CD wont install and the drivers on the site didnt work either (they werent specifically 2003 but I was hoping)
Does anyone either know how to get this card working or suggest one that without a doubt is compatible with W2K3

I have previously checked there. None of those cards specifically mention 2003 server. My card mentions XP/2000 and NT, just like the ones on that site and from what I hear it can be made to work on 2003 but I am clueless about how.
If I need to buy a new card, im fine with that too, I just want to see Windows Server 2003 on the side of the box.
Thank you, Jennifer, for taking the time to respond to my post.

Did you check the HCL for 2003 server to see which cards are supported? If not, I'd start there.

All I can find is 2000 HCL. My device is 2000 compliant. But 2003 locks things down so I dont know how to get it functioning for 2003.
