For all you posters with fake names this is a must read. Seems Intel want to imbed ID numbers in their chips so "whomever" can follow you around the web. ACLU is up in arms. What will Intel try next? msnbc.com

I understand you can have as many as 8 cards/monitors, assuming you had that many PCI slots. I think you can have up to nine. This would allow you to build a screen wall if you so wished, each CRT being one of the tic-tac-toe squares. I believe this is just theoretical because, AFAIK, there's no BIOS available that supports that many slots.

Elmer, OT << I have it on one of my computers running Win98. Obviously you need 2 monitors but you also need 2 PCI or 1 PCI & 1 AGP video card. It works quite well. >> From what I gather now, it will cost me another $800 bucks to get a card that will allow me to get this new PC of mine rigged for 2 monitors. Basically, I think I would have to take out the nice video card I have in there to replace it with one that has 2 ports. I may do that but not right now. I REALLY wish it were easier. I really wish the WIN98 was capable of handling more IRQs (a new buzzword for me) than the paltry 15 it can handle now (with a PII, I assume it could handle MUCH more). Oh well, I suppose I can get two monitors up and running if I get off my _ss and spend a few hundred buckos. :-) pigboy
