Im not sure of doing it from the onboard motherboard,, I did it with a pci and agp card,
Although I had to use some program to get it to work right.
I will look around and try to remember what it was (sorry)
but yes,, it is possible

If the ti4200 is an AGP card then the answer is no. You can't use the Onboard AGP and an add in at the same time. Installing an add in card will automatically disable the onboard.
the ti-4200 should have a dvi and vga output...connect one monitor to vga and use a dvi-to-vga adapter to plug the second one in...then go through your video settings to get both screens going...desktop clone or extend your desktop
