True, but they aren't really seperate heads.  They are 6 regions being grabbed
from the main framebuffer and spit out to video.  It is cool, but not something
that does you much good if you were interested in multiple 20" hi-res monitors.

Or at least, that is the way the MCO at school works.  I suppose there might be
other ways to configure it.
