Two major cards I know of that do dual-headding in the same card are the ATI
Radeon VE and the Matrox G400. Of the two, I'd reccommend the G400 because
it's been around longer and Matrox tends to make clearer cards (their
RAMDACs tend to be a bit better than ATI's, and besides, ATI's an evil
closed-source corp, whereas Matrox has given out the specs to the hardware
on the G400 without compromise). Thing is, it's pretty tricky to find one of
these cards -- have to either order directly from Matrox or from some other
non-advertised reseller.
