I think I'm 2 for 2. I believe I was wrong about 4 head cards being available
for the Mac. In the past at MacWorld I saw a company with a 4 head card,
I think it may have been Tatung, I don't remember, I also saw a 4 head card
at a Matrox presentation for the RTMac. I've been under the impression that
Matrox had a 4 head card for the Mac, but after looking I seen nothing on
their sight.
I was also under the impression that Dual Link DVI cards could support 4
monitors with Y cables, but I my be wrong on that one too.
However, you can add multiple video cards to a Mac and extend the desk top.
Here is another option for the Mac, Zenview.
