DS and Lefty,

Thanks for your suggestions for my dual monitor problems. The details I didn't bother to mention are that the 22" FPDs are digital, so standard analog video boards won't help me. The second issue is that I am one of those lost souls who Macs rather than Wintels. The current Mac models offer only a single AGP 2X slot required for use with the digital FPD. I haven't dug into it yet to see if there is a backdoor way to drive two digital FPDs from one Mac.

I am thinking of also crossing to the Dark Side and buy a Wintel. Any recs for a Dell or other brand tower, and large FPDs? I may try to use a KVM switch to share monitors across the systems, but this isn't required.

Life's tougher when you fight the value chains.

Greg

Windows 98 and above support mutiple monitors. You will need either a monitor card that supports multiple monitors and multiple monitor cards.
