You can't run two video cards because there is only one PCI Express slot on the 4700C.
YOU CAN RUN TWO MONITORS by purchasing the
NVIDIA QUADRO 280 NVS PCI-EXPRESS CARD which supports two monitors and is LOW PROFILE (another requirement). It costs about $200.
Unfortunately, it only supports TWO ANALOG monitors. My other dell has a 4-MONITOR-digital card but it just won't fit in the 4700C. So far, THE NVIDIA is the only card period that is PCI-EXPRESS and SUPPORTS TWO MONITORS and is LOW PROFILE.
BOTTOM LINE: DON'T BUY THE 4700C IF YOU WANT TO RUN MULTIPLE MONITORS.
Why can't you run two video cards at once on a Dimension 4700C? The whole point of PCI Express is that it has tons of bandwidth available for things like video cards!

Any idea where one can get the PCI-Express quadro? I can find the PCI and AGP versions everywhere, but nobody seems to have the express cards. :-/

Yes, there is a selection of high-end PCI-Express cards at NTI

But they are pricey.
