Here's some food for thought. I installed NT Workstation this past week, and found something that surprised me. After I installed my video card (Diamond Viper 330), and went to the display properties page, I noticed a tab titled "Multi Monitor." On that tab, there was a box to check which would "enable multi monitor capability." None of this showed up on my Win 95 display properties page, of course. After checking the FAQ's at Diamond's web site, I found for the price of an identical card (required to be identical, according to them) I can have a multi monitor setup. Since the card has dropped down to around $140 the last time I looked, it sure seems like a low cost solution. Anyone have any more knowledge about this? Is that all there is to it? Would I need some special software to set it up? Note...there is one control on the tab mentioned above that appears to set whether a maximized window would either span across both monitors or just maximize within the monitor with the cursor at that moment. It couldn't be that easy, could it? Any comments appreciated.
