Just curious here - my setup is :
Main machine: athelon 850, 192mg, voodoo 3/300 pci, Win 98se.

I have a LG 17" monitor on the main machine, and a HP LCD 15" on a backup machine. I have a spare 15" standard monitor doing nothing, and was contemplating getting another video card and putting the LCD screen on my main machine as a second monitor.

How does this actually work - in that I mean, do you see an extended desktop, or two desktop's??? I play games now and again, and would like to use the standard 17" for games - what happens to the LCD screen while I play games on the 17".

Any advise would be appreciated as I know nothing about setting 2 monitors on a single machine, but am 'wasting' a £800 monitor on one of my backup machines. I dont even look at the monitors on the rest of the network - I use PC Anywhere to control all of them.

Regards,
