AFAICR, 98 supports the same as Win2000: 9. 


The down side: Your video card must support it (read:new and a bit

expensive) and, well... there are not enough slots in a tipical

motherbord. 


Maybe there's such a thing as an USB monitor, but I doubt.

Or those who have to PAY for hardware ;) I've two monitors here, but

don't want to buy a new videocard... my Diamond Stealth64 DRAM works so

fine.. :)

And don't forget the Evil Supervillain looks it gives to your home

office! There's nothing like a wall of monitors to show your evil

powers... :)
