does w98 (and the subsequent addition of 2nd monitor) use more system resources? i'm guessing yes, it has to, right?
I would think the resources to run the second monitor are minimal, although of course you will be using more memory since you will probably be running more applications given the extra room the second monitor provides.
i read that w98 saves time by starting apps up to 38% faster than w95. any opinions? just advertising, or some truth?
I've read that too, but frankly I haven't noticed a difference. Although I've never had a speed problem opening applications anyway, so I'm not sure I'd notice the difference even if one existed.
Final question is most important... i said i already have 2nd monitor. it is connected to another pc right next to me. i'd like to set it up so that i can run both monitors from one pc, PLUS, at other times run the 2nd monitor from the other pc. what will i need to do that?
I believe you could do this if you purchased an "A/B switch" using that as the "hub", with a cable from each computer going into it, and it connected to the monitor. I'm not sure what the darn thing is called other than an "A/B switch", I'm sure someone else knows the name. The one I have says "Data Transfer Switch" - not sure if that's a generic term or not. In any case, I suspect this would work.
