is there any guideline in selecting a second video card to add a second LCD
monitor for XP pro?
Do both monitor have to be same size, resolution?

what if the main board has a built-in video card but has only one video
port?

That the video card will fit/work in your machine and both cards can be
active at the same time (hardware restriction in most cases.)

No.

The Radeon 9250 is a low end chipset that supports only up to DirectX 7.
If your requirement is a higher version of DirectX this card will not be
suitable.

I tend to steer clear of cheap cards as they tend to be a lot less reliable.
