WOW, so 4 dual head cards is 8 monitor outs. Add 8 TripleHead2Go for um.....24 monitors???
I wonder if that is even possible on one box? I sure would like to come see that video wall if anyone ever tried it :-) Anyways, I have had 2 PCI dual head cards (4 monitors total)in a G4 before and all was well with OSx(x11).

Fred, Multiple displays have been standard with Mac OS since Mac OS 7. I had three displays on a PPC 8100 machine back in 1995. Doc is using a XServe machine (good if you want a rack mount system, bad if you need multiple video cards - only two slots) with the regular Aqua GUI. The maximum number of displays currently possible on a Mac Pro is eight (four NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT dual head cards, a build to order option at the Apple Store).
