you can get a a cheaper ati card like the 9000 or 8500

and get a converter and you'll be set
but 2d quality on the matrox's are better
but what i'm asking is can i use the mobo video + a cheap ass video card or will putting a video card in it disable the mobo video necessitating the dual-head? since it'll only be doing low res text, not video games or such & be alot cheaper than doing the dual-head video card.
