Gefen USB to DVI for Isadora on MacBook Pro?	Can't Post

I would like to run two projectors off of my 17" MacBook Pro and haven't gone the 2Head2Go route. Has anyone had experience with the Gefen USB to DVI adapter and Isadora? It looks like it could be quite useful:

I wonder if you could have several of them off of the 2 USB ports?

I never knew they even existed!

Look interesting! Even though I know nothing about them I would be very surprised if you can run more than one purely because of processing power.

I am going to ask around an see if any other users have used one.

I found this review. It looks like it uses the CPU to process the material going over the USB bus. Not super encouraging:

But the MacBook Pro may have enough juice to drive it at 720P, who knows?
