Doug, I don't have the smarts for your questions. Am sure others will chip in. I think tho' the PII is INTEL and AMD is ADVANCE MICRO DEVICE, most think INTEL is best. AMD makes(or use too make)chips for Intel.

Sorry, /jw

3. Egghead has some Viewsonic .25 21' monitors coming in this Friday for $599. Is this a good price? Standard price?

What model Viewsonic Monitors are they? We can't comment if we don't know what model Viewsonic monitors they are. But from the price you quote it appears they are refurbished monitors. You can also use Price Watch at pricewatch.com to compare prices if these are new monitors or Tiger Direct at tigerdirect.com to compare prices if these are used monitors.

2. For multi monitors with the existing AGP card, is it as simple as adding a second PCI, do I have to add 2 PCI for use with two monitors and by pass the AGP ( do both cards need to be the same)?

The following assume you are using Windows 98. If you are using Windows NT 4.0 than the answers are different.

No. See my post at Message 6425347 for one answer to this question.

( do both cards need to be the same)?

No.
