[thelist] Which Monitor Size Should I Use?

[Bruce Heerssen]

NT 4.0 will not support multiple video cards, but there are cards out there that
support multiple monitors. Since screen resolution is set by the operating
system for each video card, it makes sense that cards that support multiple
monitors can only provide one resolution size for all of them.

Clear as mud? Good. :)

Win98, ME, and Win2k all support multiple video cards - and you can specify
different resolutions for each.
