Dual DVI-D AGP video cards?

Are there any AGP video cards which support dual DVI out and are
reasonably priced (sub-$200 range)?

I spent a little while looking and couldn't find anything, but I'm
hoping a smarter brain then mine knows of some options.

The goal is to hook up a couple LCD monitors to my desktop, resolutions
would be 1680x1050 and 1280x1024, 32bit colour.

The Matrox P650/P750, the latter of which is just over $200USD.

Unfortunately the Max Resolution@32bit Color: 1600X1200 dual digital on
the P750. My main LCD is a 1680x1050, which likely won't work.

I'm not really willing to buy it and find out it won't work.

ASUS V9520 video suite NVidia GeForce FX5200
http://www.newegg.com/app/viewProductDesc.asp?description=14-121-151&depa=0

Runs just over $100, but seems to be backordered everyplace I checked.
I got one nearly a year ago and it works great.

For a bit more money GeForce 6600 @182.50
http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=14-150-086&depa=0

or RADEON 9600 @129.50

I don't know why most of the dual video cards come with DVI+VGA
instead of just 2DVI, especially since you can get adapters to convert
the DVI to VGA.
