I did 5 with matrox cards (1x g450 + 4x millenium). Did both X and fb -
it's kinda interesting to see 5 different divx playing off the same
machine :)

Matrox cards are designed exatcly for the kind of thing you're looking
for. Just one word of warning - get older models, like g400/450/550
(they're dirt cheap from ebay), not the newer ones (parhelia & co),
since the drivers for the newer ones are nonexistant or next to useless.

It would be a nice experiment to get four or five 4-head pci models and
stuff them into one box ... :)~
