Q: Any way to avoid frequent panic: "IOGMD: not wired for the IODMACommand..."?

I've had a dual monitor set up on my Mac Pro "Early 2009" since it was delivered new.

The machine has two NVIDIA GeForce GT 120's adapters, each attached to identical Apple LCD Cinema Displays (1920x1200) via Displayport.

I've experienced a number of strange behaviours with this set up.

From new, I had random occasional blanking of one of the screens. Maybe once every week or two, lasting a few seconds, then the image comes back fine.

From 10.8.2 the machine would occasionally crash (panic), typically while I was using the broswer - and often whan scrolling or something that was clearly causing the GPU to be moving things around.

From 10.8.3 this seems to be *much* worse. This crash now happens at least once a day in normal operations.

I've pasted the dump below.

Is anyone else having similar problems? Is there anything I can do to alleviate this issue? It's really starting to interfere with my day-to-day use of the machine.
