Except that you only have one AGP slot in that computer and it's already filled with the original card. So the next card will have to be a PCI card.
Basically any dual-DVI PCI card that can run 1280x1024 resolution for a 19" display will work fine. At the higher resolutions, analog VGA signals don't work too well.
There aren't many people making PCI graphics cards anymore, let alone ones that have DUAL outputs or ones that are BOTH DVI in nature.
Checking www.newegg.com the search function reveals that there are only 21 models of NVDIA based chipset PCI cards, most of which have only ONE OUTPUT.
I could only find two PCI cards on their website that come with dual-outputs:
Jaton makes a Twin GeForce FX5200, 128MB DDR PCI card for $76.00 that should be just fine for you.
The model #: Video-228PCI-Twin
(pictured below)
PNY also makes a GeForce FX5200 card for $70.00 that comes with 256MB of DDR memory, which is basically overkill for your needs.

My tech challenged question. I'm curious if my video card supports dual monitors. All I can find going through my display options is that I have a RADEON X300 Series. It's a Dell computer. I went to the web paged linked http://www.ati.com/products/radeonx300/index.html
but that doesn't tell me what I'm looking for. Is there anyway to get this info off of my computer info? Thanks.
