Got this as part of a multi-machine haul from Freecycle.
It's a PCI/"Yikes!" model, but it's outfitted nicely, with 704MB RAM, and two ATI Rage128 PCI video cards, one with 32MB VRAM, the other with 16MB. I added a second HD to the stock 10GB drive, and upgraded the CD-ROM drive with a DVD-ROM drive I had laying around. I'm installing Tiger on it now. It's a nice machine.

Yeah, once in a while I luck out on Freecycle. This haul also included a 9600/300 and a Lime 333MHz iMac.

Very nice on the 9600, one of the last Macs I want to get that I don't have (9150, II, IIx being the others)

How well does it run with two video cards? Does this allow it to support two monitors (one hooked up to each card)? I have a G4 DA that I would love to hook up a second monitor to.

Yeah with 2 cards you can run two monitors.
With cards that have more than VGA or DVI connector you can run more than 2 monitors. For instance if you have a single connector Rage 128 and a dual connector Radeon you can run triple monitors. The amount of monitors you can run is only limited by the number of slots you have. Although I have never seen an 8 monitor setup before.
