Primary Graphics Adapter
This BIOS feature allows you to select whether to boot the system
using the AGP graphics card or the PCI graphics card. This is
particularly important if you have AGP and PCI graphics cards but only
one monitor.
If you are only using a single graphics card, then the BIOS will
detect it as such and boot it up, irrespective of what you set the
feature to. However, there may be a slight reduction in the time taken
to detect and initialize the card if you select the proper setting for
this BIOS feature. For example, if you only use an AGP graphics card,
then setting Primary Graphics Adapter to AGP may speed up your
system's booting-up process.
Therefore, if you are only using a single graphics card, it is
recommended that you set the Primary Graphics Adapter feature to the
proper setting for your system (AGP for a single AGP card and PCI for
a single PCI card).
But if you are using multiple graphics cards, it is up to you which
card you want to use as your primary display card. It is recommended
that you select the fastest graphics card as the primary display card.

so if you have two monitors I see no reason why not as long as you
handle the possible IRQ's and memory address conflicts.
hope this helps
