Brian,

I run two video cards with two monitors under win 98.  I see no reason why
you could not use only one monitor if you set up the cabling and switch
boxes properly.  You will also need to make whichever video card you are
using your primary adapter since your main desktop shows up on the monitor
controlled by the primary adapter.  Check out the win98 help for dual
monitor setup.  Everything you need is there.  If you have any other
questions just ask.

Trevor.

Subject: [PCBUILD] Two video cards.


Here's the scenario...
I want to be able to use two different video cards, on one
machine, and one monitor. ( I have all the cables and switches to
do the job.)
The reason I want to try something this crazy is, I have a new
tv tuner card that won't work with my Voodoo Banshee 3D video card,
the manufacturer says "no way, no how, and no refunds"
So rather than trash the card, I thought I might use an extra 4 meg
video card I have laying around.
Is this possible? Do I just install the 4 meg card and the tuner card
and hope for the best?

The tuner is made by ADS and the second video card is
made by Bell Office and called Choice 6000.
I'm running win98
128 meg ram
etc.

Thanks for any suggestions,
Brian
