Cannot understand why should need a "special" video card to run two
monitors under 98? Assuming that your computer is recent and has an AGP
video slot which is filled by your present card, the only thing is that you
will need is a PCI video card. I am just about to install all this - just
waiting for the new ATI Rage Fury 32mb AGP which has not yet been released
in UK.
There is full information in the WIN98 help (Start Button help icon) under
"multiple display support".
No multiple keyboards or mice are required if using two computers!
I use a Belkin Omniview SE 2 Port (4 Port available and can be banked too)
switch which allows one keyboard, mouse (and monitor, if you wish) to
control as many computers as you wish. Not very expensive - probably
cheaper in the US than here in UK anyway.
I am just about to set up a system that combines both of the possibilities
under discussion. Two computers networked (WIN98) with one having two
video cards and the other only one. The switch will be between the two
computers and so I will either be operating the main computer with dual
screens or the other with one screen. The essential thing about the switch
is that all computers "see" a mouse and keyboard so that there are no boot
problems.
