Yo Whort....My guess it that this is desktop specific and unable to do with a laptop, right?

If I can do it with a laptop.....looks like my next check is gone to get two new flat screens, some cable and a video card...OH MAN!!!

Well, I hesitate to answer for fear of liable ;) , but Yes you can do it w/ a laptop. You need a full docking station to do it though. You would install the video card in the docking station. The docking station will have all the same connections that a desktop would. Probably run you about 250 or so.

Wouldn't it cause the computer to go crazy having two video cards, one in the laptop and the other connected to the docking station? All about this....Also, I nominate Whort to be the IT problem solver for Derby Trail......I know enough about computers, internal and software wise, to be above average, but I can already tell you know your ish, didn't you say you are an IT manager or something?

SO DOWN...MONITORS EVERYWHERE, TRACKS EVERYWHERE....Now opening......

Well, I'm in the IT field, but I'm no mgr. I'm a contractor, so I have had the chance to work for a lot of different companies which helps w/ experience. I'm actually at the point to where I support the techs now, so they call me with probs and such. Easiest gig I ever had. But I digress, to answer your question, no, it would be fine. Your laptop has on board video so it would revert to it when it is not docked. When you dock it, it will recognize the video card and have the extra monitor feature. I guess it would depend on the laptop to. What kind do you have? The only time I've seen it screw up is when the user jacked w/ the settings.

I'm sure it would have no problem w/ it then. Toshiba makes a real good product. My buddy just bought one a few mos ago and it is real nice. I think after rebates he got for like 350. :eek:
