Jeff,
Windows XP doesn't support PCI video cards for multi-monitor use if they are
very old. I've not had any luck with cards with 4 MB of VRAM or less. You
should pick one and check out it's compatibility with XP at the
manufacturer's site or with a Google search. With 2 cards, XP allows you to
select which is your primary monitor for games/videos, whereas Win98SE will
automatically pick the one that is booted first. You can control that in
your BIOS setup. I don't know of any issues with the KVM switch either, so
I think you are good to go if XP likes your new PCI card.
Good luck,
Rand Blunck
