DonButtons · #1 03-12-2005, 07:09 AM

Ok, Im planning on buying a new monitor, but is it possible to run 2 of these monitors on one lap top. On the back of my lap top, their is only 1 slot to put the dell fps cable in?

Is their a way to modify this, any links?

A VGA splitter *could* work. Google it.

That would be THE setup:

1-Portable laptop with 1600x1200 monitor.
2-A docking station with 2 or 3 extra monitors, and maybe an extra hard drive.

Chances are your laptop's video card cannot handle this task.

Check these out.

Not so expensive

Expensive

Both are very cool...I have not tried either of them yet but I think I am going to go with the Village Tronic

Its going to be slow, PCMCIA doesn't have the bandwith that AGP can provide.

Easy solution. Get a docking station, and connect one of your 2001's via digital connection, other via vga connection.
