Matrox G450 is a good bet for dual head, and I haven't heard about a refresh rate cap at 60Hz. Not sure about the gaming tho.
Look at GF2MX TwinView cards too, I know Leadtek has one out, but beyond that...I don't know.
I'm not sure how well your buddy wants his gaming to be, but if his expectations aren't too high, the G450 may pass the test for him.
