Hallo!
thanks - the problem is only, that I think this card will be a little bit too expensiv (would need 2 of them ...)
almost all (? probably all) "modern" nvidia cards (>= fx) will have 2 VGA-outputs, and they cost very little. (~70€, guess you can get one for 50 too)

do you mean it's even not possible on "only" 2 screens ?
just use nvidia's "TwinView" to drive a xinerama-like dual-head screen with hw-acceleration on both.
Question regarding the grafic card: of course ati radeon and nvidia seem to be the best solution - but expensive has anyone experience with e.g. Matrox G450 Dualhead (they seem to have good linux support) - dri on both screens ?
even if matrox has "dri" support, this is (to my experience) nothing you can compare with nvidia's (and probably radeon's) acceleration.
with _wild_ numbers i'd say: software-GL: 1x matrox-DRI : 3x nvidia-GL : 50x (well, probably 10x or 20x)
1 vs. 2 computer: so I think it won't be possible with 1 computer and 4 screens ?
well, there are mainboards with 2 AGP-slots (are there ?) or you can use 1 AGP and 1 PCI card (like chris has mentioned, PCI is not that fast with texture uploading) i think you would have to use 2 X-servers on your machine and then run 2 instances of pd/gem
