Cheapest AGP Video Card with dual DVI out, or RGB plus DVI?

I'm after a video card with two DVI outputs. Either Nvidia or Radeon, it doesnt matter i think.

My current card a Radeon 9600XT, only has one DVI out as well as an S-video and VGA out.

My current setup is that my Samsung lcd screen for my pc uses the DVI out on the Radeon and i use the S-video port to send movies to the TV in the living room by wallplates and a 5 meter cable under the floorboards.

I recently used the DVI port on the card and a DVI->Component "adapter" to send movies to the TV and the improvement in picture quality was very noticeable.

The thing is, when i then connected the Samsung lcd monitor to the VGA port, my Windows desktop didn't look as good as when it was connected to the DVI on the card. That's why i want two DVI ports.
One for the TV and one for the Samsung lcd monitor.

Actually, would i need a Radeon? because our TV doesnt have a DVI input but it does have an RGB Component input and the Radeons' have a DVI->RGB adapter available. Do the Nividias' have that adapter as well ?

What about a card with RGB (Component) output and a DVI out, anyone make one of those ?

I need an AGP slot card as my pc doesnt have a PCI Express slot.
I'll even look for a used discontinued higher quality card if it will be better than buying a current cheapie.

thanks.
