Serge Bohdjalian writes "Montreal, Canada, March 2, 2006 -- Matrox Graphics Inc. announces TripleHead2Go™, an external upgrade that adds support for using 3 monitors at a time. The easy-to-install unit simply connects to the monitor output of a computer. The operating system treats TripleHead2Go like a monitor supporting resolutions 3 times as wide as standard resolutions and TripleHead2Go uses Matrox patent-pending technology to divide the monitor output from the computer into 3 separate displays. The displays respectively show the left, center, and right portions of this "monitor". This announcement follows the recent introduction of DualHead2Go™, the world's first multi-display upgrade of this type." The rest of the press release is copied below.
"TripleHead2Go brings the advantages of using 3 monitors at a time to systems using the latest non-Matrox graphics hardware and to closed, already validated, mission-critical systems," says Sam Recine, Product Manager, Matrox Graphics Inc. "Users of certain Matrox graphics cards already benefit from Matrox TripleHead technology in areas like CAD, GIS, 3D simulation, computer-aided dispatch, security monitoring, and process control. For many professionals in such areas, using less than 3 displays at a time just doesn't cut it."
Unlike installing a new graphics card, the TripleHead2Go setup doesn't require opening a computer, inserting parts into it, or replacing any hardware or software. TripleHead2Go maximizes the capabilities of a system by using its existing graphics hardware and software for 2D, 3D, and video acceleration. By helping to manage more information, Matrox multi-display technology can improve productivity and reduce errors.
TripleHead2Go includes support for Microsoft® Windows® 2000 and Windows XP, and is compatible with a wide range of recent graphics hardware. The maximum resolution support varies according to the capabilities of the graphics hardware in the system.

Hardware Requirements for GIS
[+]
GIS Monitor offers an article on hardware requirements for GIS. From the article's introduction: "Conversations I had this week with two dozen geospatial professionals confirmed my impression that there are two short answers: "it depends" and "it's a non-issue." Because of the first answer, in what follows I will often use such words as "usually" or "mostly." The second answer is due to the fact that, in general, new software releases are not pushing the limits of hardware bought within the last couple of years. Hardware requirements for GIS depend primarily on:
* the tasks to be performed
* the size of the files used
* the total volume of GIS work to be performed
* how often the most demanding tasks are performed
* the percentage of time, if any, spent in the field."

Refreshrate and portability
(Score:2, Interesting)This also would work if you want to build a VR Cube though the 75Hz refreshrate hinders the use of stereoscopic shutter glasses. I don't thing I have used a screen that updates in ~35Hz ever.
