What I meant was to look here: http://www.apple.com/macpro/graphics.html
Macs are running standard pci-express video cards these days, and
you'll see that one of the options is a NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT,
which has one single-link and one dual-link DVI port.  Then you
search on 7300GT to see who carries it as an addon for PCs, and
what cards compete with it, and so on.  There aren't a lot of
graphics card makers left, are there?  You end up with either an
ATI card of some kind, or an Nvidia card of some kind.

I've always thought that as a non-gamer, any brand-name card was
probably about as good as any other, assuming they actually support
the bus, monitor, and resolution I need.  I actually got myself into
a similar problem when I got a 24inch LCD for work, and my laptop
doesn't support wide-screen monitors at all :-(
