Howard, I just recently got a Dell PII 400 (384MB 100mhz SDRAM, with a Diamond Permedia 2, 8MB AGP, 3-D video card) and want to set up four additional monitors, for viewing various online sites. Do I need a video card for each one? Can I get them from any computer store, or should I order direct from Dell? How much $$$ will they set me back? Any recommendations? And what role does display size and resolution play? (I was thinking of four 15-inch Trinitrons). Also, is there anything else I need in order to get this five-monitor set-up to function properly? Dell included a free Windows '98 upgrade with the system but neglected to tell me how to get it. I've heard that a beta version is already available. How do I get it? Thanks in advance for your help! I'm no computer expert and need all the help I can get. If anyone has any other suggestions that would improve the performance of this system (e.g., What is Taskmaster?), they would be most welcome! This is a great thread. One day soon, after I've gained more of an understanding of the technology involved, I hope to be able to add to it.
