I assume that a special card for the monitors, maybe a different video card, and an OS other than windows 98SE, would be the minimum required to start out.


Not really. If you just want to try it out, buy an extra pci video card that is compatible with your current card. Usually cheap ATI rage cards will work fine. Win 98 SE is fine for running dual monitors. Course this is from a guy that uses an AppianX 4 Port.<G>

Two Display Monitors

I got a Radeon VE. Has software called hydravision. It allows one to zoom in and out. your cursor can move from one monitor to another. I got it before XP and then updated drivers from ATI for XP real pleased. HOWEVER, NEVER UPDATE VIDEO DRIVERS FROM MICROSOFT. I did and had to reconfigure my system because I could not get display I could interact with to even delete driver. I got it from google wear for aprox. $68
