    ......does anybody know if there is a port replicator that will work with the Vostro or Inspirion line. I want to hook up an older crt(or two). Most of the new universal docking stations don't have the right connections.

    There are no docking stations for the Vostro line, but if you have a VGA connection on the CRT, you are good to go. I hook mine up to my USB KVM switch when I have hardcore work to do. This has only been a couple times so far, but it works like a charm.

    If you are looking for an RGB->VGA connector you might find one someone online.

    The only thing I did notice, is that any monitor you plug into that WILL NOT support Aero...
