You want the best bang for the buck get this... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814102809 $299.99. It's a ATI 4850x2 2gig ram card with 4 DVI's. So you can run 4 monitiors if you wanted. Toms hardware said its the best for the money in the dec video card article. It beats nvidia 280's and almost does the same as a 4870x2. Its the same chip but ddr3 ram and a slower clock than a 4870x2.
You could run 4x monitors but you would still have the same software limitations on the 'extra' 2 DVI ports. You would also have more trouble disabling the internal crossfire on the card which can sometimes provide trouble when running multiple monitors and 3D apps.

The card is without a doubt a fantastic buy for general purposes, however, for multiboxing I would still go with one or more individual cards.
My vista 64 could run 4 dvi just fine. And turning crossfire on and off is simple as clicking the button in the ati control center.
