You could do the same thing using multiple cheap AMD or Nvidia GPU's with a compatible motherboard for ~1/4 the price. I guess the Matrox cards are cool if you're doing multi-monitor stuff that doesn't require serious GPU acceleration (stock trading apps and such) and want a single card solution. AMD/ATI's new Radeon HD 5XXX cards support 3 monitors per card and they have their cool "eyefinity" tech that makes multi-monitor gaming easy. Later models will support 6 monitors per card.
