I recently purchased an ASUS V9180 TD and bolted it to an asus P4PE
board.
Has true dual head, works excellent with the latest nvidia drivers in
linux and also has a tv out port. nvclock shows the following

=======================
--- NvClock v0.6.0 ---

-- General info --
Card:           nVidia Geforce 4 MX440SE 8X
PCI id:         0x181
GPU speed:      274.500 MHz
Bustype:        AGP

-- Memory info --
Amount:         64 MB
Type:           128 bit DDR
Speed:          513.000 MHz

-- AGP info --

AGP rates:      1X 2X 4X

Havent realy bothered to work out why I havent got 8x agp happening.
Probably some option in the nvidia module.

One of the video outs is a DVI connector for tft's. It also has a vga
adapter just inicase if you dont have such a thing.

I can happily recommend this card to anyone else who cant see the value
in spending $700 on the latest fandangle thing.
