What's been your problem with nVidia cards?  I've been running a GeForce
4 4400 w/dual head mode on an Athlon dual 1900MP+ machine for a long
time and have had zero problems with it.  Based on my experiences with
ATI and nVidia cards under Linux, I'd have to give a very big plug to
nVidia.

Now, dual DVI cards are a bit hard to come by, but the new GeForce 6800s
are going to have quite a few models with dual DVI ('course, you'll have
to drop 5 or 6 C Notes on one).
