>> How much SGRAM is needed to run a 17" monitor? 2, 4 or 8 MB?<< 2MB is all you need as long as it is all allocated to 2D. With 2 MB RAM you can run 800x600 and 32 bit color ( 16.8 million colors) I run 1024x768 and 16 bit color on a 17 in monitor. Its good for graphics but not necessary for non graphic applications. It's hard to argue against Win98 if multimonitors are a primary consideration. Win98 is still beta. June 25 and the non beta version may be a consideration. I like Matrox cards because they maintain their drivers. Suggest emailing tech support with questions about multimonitors and NT and Win98 and their Mystique cards. (2MB $50 Price Watch) Zeuspaul
