REPOST:
hi,
i am thinking of getting the dell C810 laptop with Nvidia geforce2 Go video card (32Mb video memory) and Windows XP.
i want to find out if this laptop supports true multidisplay? (built-in laptop screen and external monitor) - does it support both extended desktop (separate workspaces on the two monitors) and mirror/clone desktop?
also, can one have different resolutions for the two monitors in BOTH mirror display and extended desktop display??
the external monitor i have is 1024x768 whereas the C810 screen is 1600x1200. in the true extended desktop multi-monitor display, can i use two different resolutions for the two different screens?
also, can i have an application running and open one window of that application on one monitor and another window on the second monitor?? - can i do so with different resolutions on the two monitors
also does the true dual display work with the dell docking station (C/portII replicator)
sorry for the long list of questions.
thanks for all the help
sam

In theory it should have true multi-monitor support on XP (independent resolutions etc.), all desktop Nvidia cards support it. But I have no personal experience with the GeForce2 Go.

I use a Dell Latitude cpx at work with a docking station. I am using a dual monitor setup, using the laptop screen and a 19" monitor connected to the docking station. I am using windows 98 and it is running nicely. The laptop is 2 years old and it has an ATI video card. Hope this helps what you are asking about

YES!!!! I'm doing this, and it rocks. I'm using the docking station as well. The answer to all your questions is YES. True Dual-Monitor. The laptop rocks...get it!!!!
