>>>OR can you just use two regular less expensive
cards with Windows '98?

Depends on what you want to do with the extra cards - run windows on more desktops or special applications. For special apps, try Truevision boards. (I still have the original '85 add on graphics board in a drawer. They've been doing this for quite a while.)

There have been quite a number of makers who produced extra video outs this way for SCO running on 486 etc. The main point is the board has to be addressable somewhere besides just hex A0000. Plus you can't have multiple roms at C0000.

I have seen boards that can even spead the *same* display across two or more monitors, ala the Mac, some years ago. don't know who's in business at the moment doing that.

Try to remember if it's Win95, it still has DOS in there somewhere, so system level multitasking may not be so hot.

Why do you need this, if I may be so bold?
