Dirk,

About 2 months ago you told me how to run multiple monitors using Windows 98. I got Windows 98 (Beta3), and am using three different sized monitors at three different resolutions.

The older 15" NEC is not quite as clear as the others. (Have to use 800 x 600), but the ADI's 19" at 1280 x 1024 and 17" at 1024 x 768 are beautiful. These could be run at higher resolutions but my eyes are getting old.

I use this setup for day trading and it is great. I may get a fourth monitor in the next month or two.

This setup is so flexible and inexpensive (using cheap Cirrus video cards) that I wonder why people use anything else. Maybe they have special demands or don't have the PCI slots available.

Anyway, I just wanted to tell you how it's worked out. Perhaps a lot of other people would be better off to go this route. I got the Windows98(Beta3) from a book Windows98 Resource Kit at Borders.

Thanks again for the help. ER
