	Do not try it with 2 VGA cards.  The only reason it works with 1
vga and one mono is because they use a different address space for their
frame buffers and stuff.  Placing 2 VGA cards in one machine will cause
one to fry.  I have been told that it is possible to use 2 PCI SVGA cards,
I've never tried it, but Win98 was supposed to have support for multiple
monitors.
