My attempt at being subtle seems to have been too subtle :-) .

Most people see an LCD monitor as being a digital-signal beast so that 
when people talk about being able to have 2 LCD monitors running on a 
card such as the FX 5500 there is an assumption made that it is being 
done with digital connection(s); and add to that the reference to 
Xorg.conf and creating this mystical file via various incantations 
normally used by shamans, practitioners of voodoo, and Ubuntu users (who 
also use KDE), then the waters are muddied for those seeking "the light" 
:-) .

And now you speaketh of running 4 monitors!

Is they going to be digitally 'stimulated'?
