If you mean sparc supports it (kernel, not just X;) then i386 should 
really catch up ;) ... but as you start using multiple displays you'll 
prolly want multiple keyboards and/or mice soon... multiple keyboards 
might be hard as I haven't heard of hardware support for that yet... 
multiple mice shouldn't be that hard ;)
Anyway using multiple monitors && multiple VCs && multiple keyboards && 
multiple mice with single machine would rock ;)
