All Intel embedded graphics chips support this kind of card; older AGP
cards use 'DVO' protocol to support ADD cards, new PCI-E cards use
'SDVO' protocol to support ADD2 cards. The cards are reasonably cheap
too.

For the 965, you can buy BTX-format motherboards with on-board DVI and
VGA connectors.
