81767	2002-09-21 10:57:00	Ron, Windows display settings should give you the option of telling Windows which monitor/video card to use as primary, and even place the monitors where you want them. This won't stop DOS based programs though using the PCI monitor, unless you change the setting in the BIOS for which video card to boot first - AGP or PCI. Check in your BIOS to see if you can change that option (I can't cause of my stupid Gateway BIOS). Mike.	Mike (15)

If not, then Win 98 might not be able to handle it correctly (it should do - I'm sure I tried it out in there once). Mike.	Mike (15)
