AGP specification 3 allows to install two AGP slots on single motherboard. Does anybody know such motherboard (this is the way to use 8 monitors with high speed graphics)?

A month or so ago I searched Google for dual AGP motherboards, but didn't find any. It would be nice.

AGP 4X and below doesn't support dual AGP busses.. But somewhere in the specifications of AGP 8X it expresses the ability of dual AGP. As far I as I know no such solution exists. I wouldn't hold your breath for something to come out either because PCI-X is just around the corner which we should be seeing as replacing not only the AGP standard but also the old the PCI standard. So it's probally safe to conclude the next gerneration of the video cards will be PCI-X complient, and thus motherboards will be coming out to support PCI-X as well.
The only work around to dual AGP I can think of it to get an AGP to PCI bridge, but you'll experience a performance drop. The cost of the bridge is probally very high too.
Of course everything I just wrote could be completely incorrect. Heh. ;p
