I believe I have that very same model MDD and upgraded video card.

There are two connectors on the card, neither is VGA, each is different. 
One currently has my 17" Apple Studio monitor attached. There is no 
better 17" LCD available. Video, power, and USB all run through the 
single cable and connector.

The machine came new with a pigtail for the other connector adapting it 
to VGA. I have used it in dual monitor mode with a VGA CRT on the 2nd 
connector. Am not sure what standard this connector is supposed to meet. 
Am *thinking* its DVI, and am guessing this is where your VGA is 
currently connected.

I think you need to buy a Mac Pro or 24" iMac.  :-)
