I recently installed a Matrox G450 on my Dell 4100. This is a 32 meg card, so it gives 16 megs per monitor. I use 1280 x 1024 and 32 bit True Color. This card cost $95 plus shipping a couple of months ago. It was easy to install, though I did rely on the Matrox tech support board, which was quite helpful in making the process easy. The Matrox card is very versatile. I have it set up so my taskbar only shows on my primary monitor, which I like. I am very satisfied with the G450. I like having support available as I am not experienced with tech stuff. I am running a typical mix of quotes and charts, trading software, multiple browsers, word processors etc and it works great. I am running W2000 with 512 megs of ram and this has also been very helpful compared to my old computer which had 128 megs of ram on W98. I sometimes get up to 350 megs of ram in use with a lot of stuff open over a period of days. Couldn't have done it on 98. best, Rick
