Dual DVI is always possible in X.
I dunno about the high resolution though as there are issues with
particular video cards in X and Windows drivers 'cheating sometimes' by
looking at the monitor's VSync and HSync values (Intel's onboard video
with Dell Optiplex 260's/270's has a bug with improperly adjusting the
resolution of the screen for instance).
Any ATI/nVidia (preferrably nVidia as have better hardware support
in Unix and in general) cards you get though should work perfectly, and
I know that some of the nVidia Quadro cards support dual DVI out displays.
