I am having trouble configuring dual monitors using an agp card and
my onboard video. I know there must be a way to get this to work as I
have done it in the past, just can't remember how. Any advice?

Usually the motherboard automatically switches input to the AGP card
if installed, and disables onboard video. I have never heard of
running dual-monitors this way, and if possible, would require some
way of leaving both enabled and disabling the bios switching system.

Any idea on how to do this?

If you bought a dual head AGP video card, you could run two monitors
from the video card itself. Then, the state of the onboard
video would be immaterial.

Sorry, unless there is such an option in the BIOS, I don't know of any
way to force it. You could contact the company that made the board.
