Pigboy, re:OT - Dual Monitors I have been running dual monitors for a year now with Win98. It works with less hassle (now) than you're assuming. Write me via "private message" and I'll help you get set up :) Jeff

Pigboy, Re: Lack of IRQ's If you are running low on IRQ's or slots, suggest you try an add-on card. For example, I added a Turbocom serial card in my ISA slot that gives me two high-speed serial ports which are connected to an ISDN connection AND a 56k connection. If you previously had a PCI internal modem, this can free up a slot. Added card has options built-in to avoid any IRQ conflicts. Card only costs $100 and is much cheaper than monitor. Gary

pigboy, good luck finding one...I've been thinking about doing multi monitor myself...but with 19in monitors as cheap as they are ($366 is the cheapest listed on pricewatch),it doesn't make a lot of sense...unless of course you already have the monitors and video cards... concerning freeing up IRQ's: if you're not comfortable changing things in BIOS, then don't do it. Messing with comm ports and not knowing what you're doing CAN mess up your modem settings. Then you couldn't flame me for messing up your computer : ) Good Luck... rustr

Here it is, direct from the Appian website I had mentioned in my earlier post to you. This card has 4mb per monitor, they also offer an 8mb/monitor card called the Jeronimo Pro...
