The Logistics of 8 Tabling - I Need Help

[FakeKramer]

Hi. I wasn't sure what forum to post this in, so I put it here since this is a pretty busy forum with a few guys who probably 44-table, ala-Zeejustin.

Anywho, I'm going to start a little experiment on Eurobet/MultiPoker that involves playing 8 tables at once. One problem: I have a 15 inch LCD monitor, and that's it. Clearly this will not be large enough to play 8 tables. I have a hard enough time 4-tabling on here.

So this is my question, and its probably a very dumb one, but I just want to be sure before I go out and drop $600 on 2 new LCDs and a video card: I have a laptop, is there anyway I can use my laptop monitor as my second monitor? I have Pokertracker on my desktop, all my serious poker is played from my desktop. I was just wondering if there was any way that you could connect your desktop with your laptop, in a way that lets you basically use your laptop as a 2nd monitor for your desktop.

Sorry if that's an incredibly dumb question. I fear it is. I just wanted to be sure though before I possibly spend more $$$ than I have to.

Thanks - Cory
