Matrox do a basic dual headed x1 card, but it costs twice what a basic
dual headed x16 card costs.  There are very few non x16 PCI-E graphics
cards out there.

I've done a bit of googling but am a little unclear as to whether or not a
x16 card will fit in a x8 slot - is the physical slot the same?  One site
I've seen suggests a little surgery to remove a spacer...
