Windows 98 supports heterogneous graphics boards. Windows NT does not, which precludes you, indeed, from plugging Number Nine cards for multi-head displays with extra 1600SW flat panels besides the one attached to the Cobalt gfx.

Windows 2000 does lift that restriction. This restriction is shared by all NT 4.0 stations -- if you want multi-head and want to use one WildCat 4100, all your boards have to be WildCats.

The Number Nine card does not perform as well as the Cobalt graphics for most applications that are target markets for the 320. But I'd agree that if a $200 board is good enough for you, you'd be silly to order anything else.
