I'd *really* love to do triple head - the monitor in front of me

main work, and the two side screens for supporting stuff.
I am wondering, since my motherboard has a four PCI Express x1 ports and
I see PCI Express x1 video cards for decent prices, if I can either
replace my single card with two identical two-port X1 cards, or just add
a single X1 video card to what I already have and get triple head.
Has anyone done this?
I haven't tried using separate display adapters, but I'm currently
running F15 on triple head using an ATi Radeon HD 5770 card (I'll
confirm this model once I get back from work). This card, if I recall
correctly, offers (2) DVI ports and (1) DisplayPort port (I had to
purchase a separate DisplayPort->DVI adapter), which fired up my
desktop on all three screens w/ minimal fiddling (on both Gnome 3 and
KDE 4).
