Yes it can. I have two dual monitor systems. One has two separate ATI
cards and the other has a single dual head Matrox 400 Millennium card. Both
allow under Win 98 for the monitors to be independent of each other and to
be set at different resolutions.

I'm reading the review now - it says that different monitor resolutions
cannot be set only in the Windows NT/2000:
"Under Windows NT/2000 you lose some flexibility in that your two displays
cannot have resolutions independent of one another"
Apparently resolution can be independent under Win98SE.
