AGP/Win95/Win98 multiboot I would like to give the Win98 multimonitor options a whirl. Any thoughts on potential pitfalls? My concern is a loss of all video capability. I am still using Win95 as my primary OS. My version of Win95 does not support AGP. My plan is to 1) boot to Win98 and then install AGP support from the Inwill support CD. When I tried this before in the Win95 environment I got a severe error message. My version of Win95 did not support AGP. I removed the card and installed a Matrox MII PCI card. 2) Install the Matrox Productiva card in the AGP slot, leaving the PCI card in place and boot to Win98 and see what happens. The question is what damages do I do to the Win95 installation? Would the AGP support from the Inwill support CD be OS specific? ie not effect a Win95 installation? If I boot to Win95 it will see two cards and not know what to do with them. Hopefully Win95 will at least give me a display with a default VGA driver. Will I go to device manager and remove the AGP card and will the machine work as it did before in Win95? Zeuspaul
