Dual Video Card Setup?

I have recently upgraded my machine and am looking to put together an
old system for a friend out of spare parts. I have a machine which has
onboard AGP graphics, ATI Rage Pro Turbo 8Mb (old school, baby!) The
Mobo also has an AGP slot and I have an identical AGP card as the
onboard solution. What I am wondering is; is it worth installing the
2nd card? Will there be any performance gain?

Thanks for looking

My guess is the AGP card would only be faster/better if it had more memory -
otherwise forget it.
