Hello Todd,

Other techs might have other opinions about how to handle this.

Which board and cpu and video cards are you using? All of these can
make a big difference on preformance!!!

get rid of Win Me and either go to 98 SE or 2000.

Even though PCI is faster than ISO slots you will get latency. Much
better to use AGP slot. Unfortunitly there is usually only one slot
per board. I don't know if there are boards with more than one, but the
AGP is the fast slot out of the three.

if you where to build another box, I would go get two dual-head video
cards [AGP]...something like Matrox G550...put one in your current box and
one in your new box.
