try G200 MMS quad by Matrox, its a quad digital card for 4 LCDS. Its a PCI card (at least I got the PCI version, dont know whether there are AGP versions out there, too). However, I run it in the LCDs native solution which is lower than 1600x1200. Check out the Matrox website and see for yourself whether such resolution is supported.
You have also the Matrox G450 MMS that can support 1600x1200 DVI under some case, just check here in the small print: http://www.matrox.com/mga/products/g450_mms/home.cfm «** 1600 x 1200 digital resolution possible for some DVI panels supporting reduced blankings.»
Have a look at this video card... it may be what you're looking for, but it's expensive! http://www.lostcircuits.com/video/nvidia_fx3000/2.shtml
