The problem is under the current version of windows you can
*calibrate* both displays on a *single* graphics card with dual heads
but you can't *profile* both of them.  The problem arises because the
current windows OS does not properly enumerate seperate displays.

So ... its ... looks like chicken, smells like chicken, tastes like
chocolate pudding.

Again if you do want to do this on windows aparently the PCI express
dual head card drivers report themselves to Windows as *two seperate
cards* and thats why those particular ones appear to work.

Aparently Microsoft took this one and is providing a solution in Vista
but thats not out yet.

MAC OSX aparently enumerates dual head display cards correctly so this
isn't an issue there.
