i have the Videum 4400 working well under AG 2.3, although there seem to still be a few outstanding issues. if you got a machine with enough PCI slots, 'probably need to go through a custom system house like Monarch, you might also be able to run with 4 Ospreys. i'm not sure if anyone is doing this from a single box node. if they are, i'd be interested in knowing.
