I've been pretty happy, overall, with the matrox g550.

its somewhat cheap (compared to what dualhead cards used to cost), it DOES have
dual vga and dvi (if you find the SPECIAL version that explicitly says 'dual
dvi'; its not very common to find this).

its fast, its pretty well supported and stable.  I run one at work and one at
home and have uptimes in the months.

I run 2 dvi monitors at 1280x1024 and xinerama is quite nice that way ;-)

dvi is cool in that you can run an xterm with '-fn fixed' and STILL see each
pixel.  can't do that with vga/analog.

you need a special cable to convert dual-dvi on the 550, so order that along
with the card.

I replaced a set of sgi 1600sw pure digital displays (and the out-of-business
#9 cards) with this matrox/dvi setup and have no regrets at all.
