Multiple monitors

Folks:

I'm researching 4-port multi-monitor cards.  I may eventually want to go to 8
or more.  From previous posts I've learned there's STB, Matrox, Appian,
Colorgrafix, and perhaps more.

I'm running NT40 SP3 and I want to get up and running, without researching
every darned detail about their graphics engines.  I'm not a game player or
doing any major 3D work, so if the screen repaints and refreshes reasonably
fast I'm happy.

1)  Can someone recommend a vendor that discounts and carries all or at least
some of these cards?  It would be nice to talk to a human who could do a quick
and dirty comparison for me.

2)  How important are the drivers?  Appian is telling me that _their_ drivers
are perfect, take care of a number of potential annoyances, and will replace
any love I missed out on as a child.  I assume that all the manufacturers
would
be willing to promise such things, if given the chance.

3)  Is there a "right" card to purchase, that's a lot of bang for the buck? 
Again, I want to get up and running, not spend days learning about the card
technologies.

Thanks for any help.

     Paul
