Hi Judy: WIN 98 supports 2 monitors but I'm not sure if you need a second video card. Just purchased a Dell which has a 21" monitor (a monster but it works great). Haven't tried to split screens yet (give me a week). Gateway has been great for service and support (I purchased 3 year option 2 years ago) with some software (ATT & my norton antivirus had a battle and my PC lost <g>)and hardware (software drivers on a sony HIFD, buy the new zip250 it works great) I don't think you can go wrong with either one but I havent' tested Dell support yet. Have you looked at SYNT as a Y2K investment, similar to IMRS without the high multiple. I'm about to rotate some of my positions (at least SIII). I've kept Wind and it appears next quarter at the latest will be showing I2O revenues. They may be this quarter but if not the conference call should indicate next. It seems the stock has run to 50 the last 2 quarters and then pulled back when the I2O didn't materialize. Chkpf has had a great run and it should continue (unitl the internet sector sells off the then it will be shot like the rest even with good earnings <g>. Also, I convinced my wife to purchase some ASMLF (thanks). Tim

Yes Judy, you can run up to 20 monitors on 98 I believe...however you either need a vidio card that supports multiple monitors or a card for each monitor... If getting multiple cards, I'd recommend getting the SAME maker as the original...as I now have several spare cards that were suppose to be campatible with each other and are NOT!!!!! If you plan on having more than 3 monitors it's cheaper to start with a multiple supported vidio card to start with... Just my thoughts, I'm running 3 monitors off of ATI vidio cards and using a switching system to be able to switch between the 2 other computers... The setup is plug and play other the setting the viewing size of each monitor in the Desktop under control panel... Hope that helps, Later Preston
