With Windows 98, you can attach
as many as nine monitors to a single computer. Each
monitor must be equipped with a PCI graphics adapter or
video card.
Note: Many newer computers include
a built-in video card. If your computer does, and you
want to use multiple monitors, refer to your Windows 98
documentation before setting up a second monitor.
Using multiple monitors has
obvious benefits for work applications - you can run
Internet Explorer on one and use Microsoft Excel on
another, or you can get a panoramic view of large
documents. If you play games, there are even more
possibilities. You can set up monitors to get
additional perspectives when you're playing games.
Picture it: you're playing Microsoft Flight
Simulator. You can set one monitor to display the
inside of the cockpit and another to show the outside of
the plane, another to show the right or the left of you,
and another to track your opponent.
