if your going to use two video cards you'll have to have one card AGP and the other PCI.
Then it's just a matter of setting them up in windows. I youst to do this on win ME with an old P3.
OR
Get a new card that has dual display connections, such as either a Matrox card or a card with VGA and DVI connections and then buy a seperate DVI to VGA converter.

I have never try this but i believe it is like this.
You need to have a special vedia card for example Geforce MX series or Matrox card.
The other way (as you mentioned) is to get a PCI Video card and swap it in along with your radeon 7500 (AGP) then plug the monitor on each card and power up your PC, but i don't think this will work cause you cannot use both primary and secondary display card to work at the same time.
Does Ati Radeon support dual view as MX series does?

the other one is a DVI connectior - get a DVI-VGA adaptor and you are good to go. you dont need 2 display adaptors. OR connect a TFT screen to the dvi connector.
theres usually a dvi-vga adaptor included with all radeons.

If your radeon 7500 have DVI, then it will works.

not true depends if your radeon has 2 outputs either one dvi and vga or jus vga+vga, its called hydravision or somthing on the radeons, and theres a utilty for it built into the drivers i think, but since the only radeon i've used is a 8500, and it left me with sutch a bad impression i'd never purchase, an ati card again, of course thier tv tuner card i bought was even worse... the tuner got a return, the 8500 is sitting in an unhappy celeron 700.
