Don't worry, it isn't a big deal. If you have an award BIOS (the majority I believe) just hit the delete key as it boots. I think it is in either Bios features or chipset features and you select AGP or PCI as primary adapter. Save and exit and that's all there is to it!
The primary monitor only means the one that has the start button and task bar and is the default.

In the video adapter display settings (right click on desktop and click on properties)you set where the second monitor is located in relation to #1. It can be on the sides,top or bottom or even corner ways. It really is kind of spiffy. There isn't any overlap or loss, the mouse or any window leaves one monitor and comes right up on the other one. Just drag and drop the windows.
The beauty of win98 is that you can have any combo of adapters, monitors and also display resolutions and refresh rates without any problem. In NT the adapters and resolutions have to be identical. Also win98 seems to save window positions and reopens them better.
Sorry to ramble on here, maybe you already know all of this.
