Multimonitor Support/Windows 98 Second Edition

With multimonitor support, multitasking moves to new heights, widths, and depths.  It allows you to use up to nine monitors to display nine separate programs or nine different views of the game.  This creates a virtual desktop because you can divide the display among different views.  You can select the size, color, and resolution of what is displayed on each monitor and easily move programs from one screen to another.

With multiple monitors, you can:

• Multitask--do several tasks at once--such as read e-mail on one monitor and follow an Internet link on another.
• Track HTML code on one monitor and Web-page content on another (a Web developer's dream!).
• Keep a closer eye on your opponent by viewing a game on several monitors, with many-sided views--say, forward, backward, overhead, and underneath.
• Create a panoramic view of a large or very detailed document.
• Compare several versions of a layout, design, or graphic side by side, each on a separate monitor.

To take advantage of multiple monitors, you'll need a PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) or AGP (Accelerated Graphics  Port) video card for your primary monitor and for each of your additional monitors. Check your computer before you purchase video cards--many newer computers have a built-in video card.
