    Hey,

    I'm gonna be buying an XPS 1530, but I ask you this:

    Will it work very well with dualview? Because it's a feature I really want...and does it vary with different builds of the 1530? If so, I can post my specs if it helps...

    Thanks,
    Alex

    Oh right, thanks...

    Also, how would I get it to work with more than one extra monitor?

    Another thing (lol), would it slow my system down?

    i guess you graphic card will need to do a bit more work, but i play 1080p movies on it and don't have any problems (with good player & codecs). There is HDMI, VGA and SVideo so it should be possible to connect 3 external monitors but haven't tried that :p

    You can only have 2 monitors total used (im fairly certain.) Laptop lcd + external monitor = 2 montiros AND no laptop lcd but 2 external monitors = 2 monitors.

    Unless you buy one of those fancy usb external lcd's or an adapter card.
