A8Jm=3 screens?

Waiting in anticipation of its arrival I can think of little else other than having an A8Jm, so it occured to me that an A8Jm has a DVI port, a VGA port and a screen. Could I then run triple-monitor? Or, just imagine if I got a Matrox Triple Head-To-Go. Then I'd have >>5<<!!! Mind you I never will but it will give me more silly and completely useless things (for my purposes at least) to boast about, once I get it. My list right now is kind of short:

-my computer has more USB ports than yours (zing!)
-my computer's VRAM is larger than your computer's system RAM (I remember I could say that back when I got an 8500LE 128, good times)
-my computer can run more screens than your computer

I'm kidding of course but any of these statements will unfailingly provoke exacerbated eye-rolling and, if the person's a techie, secret envy.

Though, to help tide me over, does anyone else have suggestions? Different forms of "my computer is faster than yours" aren't very amusing though, keep that in mind

 

i think this has been discussed once before and the answer was no its not possible, but i dont remember exactly

 

Hmm.. I'd assume that 2 was possible:
1 - Duplicate of Notebook screen to VGA/DVI
2 - Dual monitor capability of the other port

Logically, since we can do dual monitor with notebook screen + either VGA/DVI, then it follows that we can just extend the notebook screen to a monitor, and the other one would be second monitor? (ugh.. confused myself with that logic, but should work rite ? )

Not sure about 3 tho....

 

By 3, I think rwei means having the notebook screen on also. 2 screens shouldn't be too much of a problem. Not sure why you would want that many

 

Well Matrox makes a thing that lets one output make 3 monitors, basically making your computer think you have a really really wide screen (like 3*1280X1024)

Sounds like I can have 5 screens after all, incl the laptop screen. HUGE! And if they make a DVI version of the adapter, 7!!!

I'll reiterate that this is completely useless for me. But it's for bragging rights along the lines of "I have a better heatsink than you. Copper's the shiznit"

 

U can have a maximum of 2 screens with an nvidia "gaming" card. 3 is NOT possible. The geforce cards are not built to support 3 heads, unless u go for workstation graphics

also as far as im aware its a DVI-D output, which is not the DVI-I interface that DVI monitors support. Dvi-d is only for digital media devices - like HDTV etc. - although i might be wrong about this.

 

Yep I just bought one for the company I work for.

Its called the dualhead2go. I havent tried it yet, but I will set it up on monday.
