Running two or three 30" ACDs on a MBP. Possible?

just to clarify I have a late 2008 0ct 17 MBP alu with full DVI port :D
 
I don't doubt it can work...I think the only problem before was finding a box that had the connectors.

Our school uses VGA splitters with like five-year-old computers and their integrated graphics...so with a dedicated GPU, I'm sure there's enough power to drive the monitors.

Since you have cash to burn you can use the expressbox which is sort of like the solution above except you will have to spring for the expressbox2 which will run about 1700 dollars, but with more flexibility as far as what card(s) you want, and can daisy chain.

that looks V interesting. Its quite an expensive route. As you have to buy cards on top. any idea which cards would be suitable to drive the 30 ACD.

So two cards, + one internal ==> to run 3x30 ACDs

Also, is it possible to get PCI cards with RAM on them, and PCI SSD drive cards?

SSD yes. Ram not so much, as the system need a really fast access to it, more then what an express card can give.
