If you’ve been envying your PC comrades for their ability to run up to four displays over a USB connection with the use of DisplayLink technology, we urge you not to fret. The company has released a beta version of their drivers for OS X.
With a compatible piece of DisplayLink hardware, any Intel Mac from the mini and the MacBook Air to the Mac Pro can use their USB 2.0 ports to support multiple displays, regardless of their graphics capability. But this is beta software, so it comes with its fair share of caveats, notably a couple of biggies: neither 2D or 3D acceleration is supported, meaning that some software (such as those that require OpenGL acceleration) won’t run correctly. There’s more in DisplayLink’s release notes.
Should none of that deter you on your quest for quad-display glory, then you can hit the link above to download the free beta.

I read the title as "DisplayLink beta release brings video foreplay to the Mac".
My bad.
