Appian software is the only one that saves the programs in a predetermined position. Those cards are pricey. It comes down to how much you want to pay for multimonitor capability and what configurations you can live without. For the price saved in going Win 98/couple of cards, there is no big deal with taking a second to move a program from one screen to the next. S.W.

>> Anotherwords does win98 with 2 video cards save the program windows in a predetermined position each morning when I turn on the machine? << No! But you could use Windows 98 WSH, Windows Scripting Host, to perform this task for you. However writing a script to save and restore your video displays is not a trivial task. Most people will look for other solutions.

These 2 cards will work with win98 and multi-monitor. I have a working system today. Here are the components that I have used: Intel 440 lx chipset motherboard pentII 266 cpu 64 meg dimm SDram 10ns 168 pin 1.44 fd 3.2gb hd 32x CD rom S3 3D Virge 4meg PCI(retail $40 each Video card)-2 Decaview pa630 21" monitors -2 sound card speakers case mouse keyboard Suprasonic II v.90 shotgun modem 88,000bps I am downloading at 6k bytes per second (actual) here in the SF bay area using Value.net as ISP. Expensive($40) unlimited. But way better than ISDN at $300+ per month real cost. Cable modem won't be here for a year. Now I will keep this machine clean except for netscape and Win98 OS. I am waiting to load Real Tick 3 to see how it will run. I have had most drivers and junk taken out of OS. I will use a different machine for mirc and email etc.
