Quad head video card

[Brad Best]

I've had success with radeon cards, have multiple setups with 5 dualhead 
cards and Xinerama
(using a 9 screen ___big___ window), the only problem I've had is X 
using a good bit of CPU,
and some apps seeming to need more memory, but the setup definitely 
works fine.
I'm using fanless radeon 7000 64mb PCI cards with a DVI and a VGA port 
(not messed with the
TV-out, however)..
