This should answer your questions

For the multiple view points, I believe this is only possible if the game supports it (and I think it's limited to certain flight simulators).

The only video card I've ever seen do anything similar to that is the Matrox Parhelia line, and they're WAY expensive ($500 US for a 256MB tri-output card). They're meant to span 3d modelling apps across two screens, but that doesn't mean you couldn't frag with 'em...

Here's a list of games they support.

Zoicks! Support is more widespread than I imagined. A pity the Parhelias are not the best for gaming. :-|
