: Thanks for the advice, but I really don't want to run in Win98. I've only got a Pentium 200Mhz and 32MB RAM, I really just wanted to keep it all in DOS with arcadeos.
: Why is it not a good idea to run 2 monitors, will something break? Or will the signal just be really BAD? Thanks. :)

Well you can do this in dos, you just need a vga splitter box. Basicly it's a powered box that taked your vga output, and sends it to 1 or more ports on the box. We have a machine setup with 4 monitors here at work so customers can see the difference between the different ones we carry. this works rather well actually.
Good luck,

: : I've never done this but I've heard that incorporated into Windows 98 is the ability to display onto two separate monitors with two video cards. I'm not sure how to do it but I know it can be done so this would save you a ton of hassle. Just use two video cards and two monitors and read up on how to display the same thing to both monitors. Peace.
