[ale] X 4.0 multiheaded

[Christopher Bergeron]

They make a pci version, but you'll probably only be able to find it at
ebay.  You'll prob. pay about 50 bucks for the card.

After you get it, you might want to look through the fourums on the matrox
site.  They have a _ton_ of info there...

Chris,

I'd certainly be interested in buying the card but for the fact I've only
got PCI slots to use in the subject machine. Is there a PCI version of the
card by chance? A single dual-headed card would be a great solution. I
think I can gather 4 monitors for the cause, and using only two slots to
do it would be great.

Thanks for the help,

Ben
