After purchasing the Spyder 2 Pro and a second video card, I still
cannot get my side-by-side LCD monitors to look alike (one is red, the
other is green/cyan).


With two cards you should be able to get a different ICC profile for each at the OS level, and get video corrections from each of these profiles to flash to the two videocards at startup. This latter step should balance grays even in noncolor managed conditions, such as Windows OS screens. The profile will only be used in color managed applications such as Photoshop. So, if you now
open a new file in Photoshop and fill it with medium neutral gray, create a second copy of this file, and display one on each screen, to they show as different colors: one redder, one greener?
