    Will it allow me to run two 22" monitors at once? and Have one of the monitors to watch a movie, and the other monitor to do some other tasks? One hooked up as VGA and one hooked up as DVI? thanks

    Don't think it would. Sorry. Your better off getting a dedicated graphics card.

    so you think the graphics card is the limiting factor?

    The system is a D630 with integrated graphics. thanks

    I think you can run two monitors, but not the laptop LCD panel at the same time. Thus, two but not three.

    As to what windows allows you do do on the separate monitors, I don't know.

    My docking station actually has an extra pci slot. I have never used it, but I am sure that I could get a dual view video card for it and use it for dual monitor when connected to the dock. BTW its D600 with a PD10X.
