Are you asking whether you can have dual monitors using two video
cards instead of one dual-head video card?
Yes, you can do that. However, be aware of a couple of things:
1. Most motherboards have only a single slot for an AGP or PCIE card.
That means the second card has to be an IDE card, and you should
expect a performance hit doing this.
2. Some pairs of video cards will work together this way, but others
are not compatible. A dual-head card is always safer.
FYI, this is an XP OS newsgroup. There are Win98 specific newsgroups. From this link:

Scroll to the microsoft.public.win98 entry in the left pane and expand it. There are several win98 newsgroups to choose from.
