Dual 21" Monitors and a Laptop?

If I were to buy a typical brand-new laptop computer, what adaptations would I have to add to it to allow it to support two dual 21" monitors?

Few laptops have dual outputs, but you may find laptops with docking stations that have dual.

You could also get a pcmcia video card. Here's a link to your options: Multi-Monitor guide for Laptops.

Dell has a line of laptops that all use the same docking station (Called the Advanced Port Replicator) that can be used by their 600m, 700m, 8600, and many other models. It has DVI and VGA outputs, so you can hook up dual monitors to it. Just make sure you get the laptop/docking station combo that is NOT connected through USB. Those are the suck.
