>>am I creating any blocks to an eventual (maybe sooner - I HATE
pushing reset while the markets are open!) upgrade to NT4 or 5 with
multi-monitors?

Well, since you addressed this explicitly to me, I will answer:
You couldn't have picked a worse guy to ask about multi-monitors.
I know even less about them than about all the other stuff I
fake on this thread<G>.

That said, I do have a comment: I would NOT get a dual
CPU motherboard at this point with a view to adding a second
processor unless you can pick a definite future time when you
will add the processor within the next few months (max 6, I'd say,
which is pushing the envelope at that). Suppose you want to
add a slot 2.259 processor? (Of course there is no such thing,
but it will probably be out seven months from now anyhow.)
You at least have a chance of using your 350 in a slot 2.259
MB a year from now (small, but real), but you'll NEVER use
that Krypton (the Xeon follow on) processor you want to
add in the slot-1 dual processor MB you buy next week.

Even if you decide to add another slot-1 processor (probably
a 650), you'll want other things next year which your
MB will need to be replaced to get. What? I don't know.
USPBFS bus (universal serial-parallel-firewire-SCSI bus) or
some such. Looking ahead just doesn't pay in this marketplace.
