Hello everyone.....
I have a 3 year old Acer laptop in which i want to connect 3 monitors. After my search i found the following available options :
1)Magma cardbus to pci expansion - extremely expensive.
2)VTBook - Dual head pcmcia card, expensive.
3)Vga spliters - starting very cheap but they just clone the signal(which is useless for any multi-tasking-multi-windowed application).
4)Matrox Dualhead2go/Triplehead2go - reasonably priced(imo) working like a dual/triple head vga card. It supports a lot but only Nvidia and ATI GPUs.
So, the question is if anyone knows any other way that works and is affordable for anyone who wants to set up a multi display system in his non Nvidia or Ati based laptop.
Cheers, |

If you have other laptops or desktops networked, you can use this software to extend your desktop:

If you don't, your going to have to $$$ up & buy some hardware.
