[ale] X 4.0 multiheaded

[Benjamin Dixon]

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
