    Running dual monitors on a 7811, doable, correct?

    Stupid question here, but I want to make sure. I am setting up the laptop for use as a desktop machine, and am currently running a 23" LCD (via HDMI/DVI). However, I may be able to get a decent 22" LCD as well, and would be interested in running it at the same time.

    Now, I know I cannot run three monitors at once (two external and the internal), but I just want to make sure it will drive two monitors (one VGA and one HDMI/DVI).

    Thanks!

    Sort of a necro, but I'm pretty sure I've had all 3 up at once on my 7805. I know I use 2 externals now.
