    heh, but we'd rather have it go over the wireless so no external components we don't have is needed xD

    Video bandwidth is quite high for a wireless solution to handle without compressing the picture quite a bit :\ It is possible to do dual screens on a laptop though, either get a Two monitor DVI splitter or use the lappy's screen with an external.

    well at my work i have a Dell Latitude D630 with a docking station and two 19" screens attached to the docking station, depending on your notebook brand you should look on the manufacturer's website to see if they have docking stations, however docking stations dont come cheap you can expect to pay 100-200$

    I too use a docking station for my Dell Latitude D620 with two Dell monitors. One is connected to the VGA port and the other monitor to the DVI connector. I can do something similar by just using the laptop screen and connect my MAC 17" monitor to the docking station. Of course; I'm running XP sp2.
