Dual Monitor Video Card Found this daddio from some co-workers today: GeForce4 MX440 64MB DDR 4x AGP Card w/Dual VGA. All for a measly $36.55. Now if they only made one of these for laptops. I'd love to make my next computer an Intel-based PowerBook, but you can only plug in one additional monitor to a laptop - I'd love to have dual.

With your PB you should be able to connect it up to external VGA screen and have one desktop that spans the two screens. Maybe what you are looking for is a laptop that can drive to external displays plus it built-in LCD?

Yes, I've done what you're talking about - but the PB LCD will never compare to a 19" or 21" monitor. Since I already own dual monitors, I'd simply like to setup a laptop to emulate my desktop. Basically, the laptop screen does me no good when it's docked - I'd prefer a desktop setup when it's docked. Another solution (of course) is to get a 23".
