Is it possible? Meaning I want to have two screens, mounted on something like this Amazon.com: Dual LCD Monitor Stand desk clamp holds up to 24" lcd monitors: Office Products and extend my desktop to both monitors and have them showing two seperate portions on the desktop.
I tried searching, but this sites search is useless and brought me nothing but irrelevant information.

It is only possible to hook up to two external monitors if you use a display adapter of some sort (such as using the USB interface), since your model doesn't look like it can support two direct connections to separate monitors.
One example of a display adapter that currently exists is the EVGA UV Plus - there should be a few other brands out there to look into.
I don't see any problem with the mount you linked, as long as it can be reliably secured. -
I know it wouldn't be as simple as using a splitter since all that'd do is give me dual images of the same desktop. I thought about seeing if it could do something like one out via the VGA port and then another via S-Video, but every time I've used S-Video on a large LCD TV (37" or larger) the picture quality is always crappy compared to use the VGA cable on the same TV, so I'm guessing that either S-Video just sucks or I've got a bad cable since the resolution is like night and day.
Oh well, it was worth a try. -

Your system could do a mPCIe based DIY ViDock via underside covers. Meaning you'd need a USB wifi if needed concurrent usage. You'd get accelerated graphics and HDMI audio as well.

Wow man, as long as I've been around computers (Commodore 64 when I was like 11), you're way over my head.
