HG,

You are pushing it. If you attempt it make sure it has all the RAM (48-64) it needs to avoid ANY swapping to the hard drive. I have done it, its not optimal, if necessary it is workable. Better yet pick up a Pentium class board and chip (166 or 200) if you can, they are getting quite cheap.

I have a similiar question concerning multiple monitors...

I use Quote.Com Real Time charts and would like to keep this along with SI on one monitor, on the second 21" monitor I would like the Real Tick ECN from South West Securities. Is this possible with my system by simply installing a VGA splitter card or do I need to upgrade to Windows 98?

Also, where can I purchase monitors and components reasonably?

My computer has...

64.OMB / 56K Modem / 4.3 GB HDE / 512 Cache / 233 Pentium / Windows 95

HG - depending upon your budget, consider a buying a new PC

They are getting quite cheap.
If you are not going to build one, you might
consider a GateWay. Either way, find one with
many PCI slots because you will find that once
you use two monitors, you'll want a third, and then
a fourth.

regards,
S.W.
