    Would I be able to connect 2 external monitors (2 20 inchers) to the Asus G51vx-x3a (newegg's version) with one connected to the HDMI and the other to the VGA? Or would I have to purchase one of those Matrox head2head humdingers? If so I think I'll pull the trigger on this one. Thanks in advance :D

    Only way I believe that you can do this by getting one of those Matrox Dual-Head-To-Go and Triple-Head-To-Go modules. I don't think you can use the VGA simultaneously with the HDMI port on the G51/G71. :D

    Let me know if you find a way.
