I run four monitors on a Gatway with Win 98 and use four ATI 98 vid cards- 3-PCI and 1-AGP. The first PCI slot closest to the AGP slot has my sound card, 2nd PCI slot is my primary monitor, then agp card boots, then pci slot 3 and 4. The number 1 ISA slot is blank as it is a shared with the PCI slot next to it, and ISA slot 2 has a modem on COM 3. I also have an external modem on COM 2 which is multibonded with ISA modem. COM port1 has a satellite feed. The ATI vid cards work great- one giant desktop- mouse cusor scrolls across all monitors. I have all my IRQ'S used but have no conflicts but it did take some reshuffling to get video cards and comports on their own IRQ'S. You can and may have to specify which IRQ'S are assinged to which device- com ports on lower irq's and vid cards on higher irq's. Dell gave you bad info- I tried a Dell Deminsion P-400 last year and set it up the same way as my Gatway with the same video cards and modems and it worked fine- odd thing was that the AGP slot was the primary monitor and PCI slots secondary. I had to send it back though because of a CPU glitch. Here are some multi-monitor links: realtimesoft.com home.att.net digitalroom.net Terry dg_flier
