    Bought A New Laptop ... Have one monitor Out.. Can You Get A Video Card...

    That lets me run 2 monitors off the laptop ?? like a split maybe ??
    So I can plug it into a dock, run my 2 lcds on my desk along with the laptop ? So I would have 3 monitors on the same pc... One for e-mail and icq... one for photoshop and one for DreamWeaver and the web..

    I have an external drive that I can just pack up too...

    I will be at the beach all summer and need to be mobile...

    I need 3 monitors in the office and just the laptop and external drive for vacation ....

    Does anyone have this set up ?? Thanks

          setup a secondary computer where your gonna be at most of the time... and setup synergy to control both rigs with one keyboard mouse... gives ya lil more processing power besides just the extra layout space.

            I never got into the multiple monitor thing but when you lay it out as having email and icq open on one fulltime that is actually quite alluring.

            I may have to look into a new setup myself!

              Yes, I use TripleHead2Go. Take your pick of analog or digital.

                I believe there are adapters that allow you to connect multiple monitors to a single video card. you need to look into that but i am almost positive!

                Good Luck.

                  Yea I could do that, but I want to be mobile, my beach house is for relaxing and not very big... So I need just a laptop...
