AAron...here's where I got mine:

These cards are sweet. Be sure to install the AGP card and load the (most
recent NVidia unified) driver for it first. Then install the PCI card. It
will use the same driver. In my usual fashion, I just crammed both cards in
the mobo, fired her up and the PCI card loaded but the AGP card wouldn't
load so I uninstalled the drivers, then behaved as a sane, logical person
would, and it worked quite nicely.
What is cool about this is when I drag the mouse across my screens or
dragging windows around dring playback, I get nothing like the major CPU hit
that I got with the screens that were running on the G450 PCI card. With the
old Matrox cards, the minute the mouse touched the GUI running on the PCI
card there was a momentary spike and dragging a large window during playback
could cause a farily serious surge, enough to worry about in a heavy
session.

If you have any extra CPU cycles in that Geforce, you might want to check
this out.

Deej, did both those vid cards come capable of all VGA output by chance (preferrably
no DVI to VGA adaptors)? My antiquated Paris rig needs VGA only, heh.. what
a surprise, 'eh?

I picked up two DVI/VGA adapters. They did not come with the cards. Also,
I've been testing some screen drags with big windows today. I'm getting 100%
CPU spikes on the PCI card when dragging a full sized mixer window at 1200 x
1600 resolution (dammit!!! ;o( . This is sorta disappointing, but hey,
overall performance otherwiae, as in general stability of the driver, is
much, much improved. I'll be blaying around with my color settings and
performance settings to see if I can mitigate this some. I've conditioned
myself to be careful about screen dragging during tracking anyway, but in a
perfect world...........maybe something like a Colorgraphics Predator Pro
AGP? Not a lot of VRam on one of those and I'm not sure about the drivers
either....especially for win 9x.

Deej,
Macro Express has prevented the need for screen drags for me.
Are you using that? It's worth it's weight in gold.
