You need a PCI card for each monitors (may include one AGP card). Make sure your current card(s) are supported. And make sure your computer have the necessary number of PCI slots (open your computer, they are the beige/white one).

Tons of infos from Microsoft:

search.microsoft.com

One file in that bunch list the supported cards as of October 31.

After putting in the new card, you just boot up and Win98 will (if you're lucky) find the drivers for your new hardware. Then you go in Control Panel/Display and setup your new display. If you have a very good card and a not so good one, you might want to make sure Win98 use your good card as the primary display (the one where the action will be by default). To acheive this, you might have to switch the places of the cards on the motherboard. I don't think Win98 is wise enough to allow an AGP card to be the primary display adapter, but I might be wrong, as usual.

And for anyone that are at the installing stage: Install and setup one card at a time. If you put two new cards in there at the same time, you'll never get it.
