    Hi Peeps,

    Although I've been a sole laptop user for years, I'm now back at my desk that has 3 monitors. I've upgraded the middle to a 24inch (1920x1200) and the two outer monitors are 17inch (1280x1024).

    Now my Asus G51vx only has a hdmi and vga port and I'm wanting to get my 3rd monitor up and running. I've seen the USB DVI/VGA adapters, but not sure how well they work due to bandwidth.

    Does anybody have experience with the USB adapters and/or an alternative to USB.

    Thanks,

    That is one hell of an alternative. I like it...
