Sharing monitor with two computers

Just bought a new desktop with a TFT monitor to replace my existing one with its CRT. Thinking of using the TFT with both computers (though not at the same time!) using DVI for the new and VGA for the old.

The TFT manual seems to suggest it will work but...

the old desktop is running Windows 98 so will I need new drivers and will they exist for Win98?

Also will the monitor be able to adapt its resolution for the different systems.

Perhaps I should just connect them up and see what happens...
Anyone out there with any advice?
