Can I connect two other monitors to my Dell Studio XPS?

I currently have a Dell Studio XPS laptop that I connect to an external monitor with the standard VGA output. I have also bought a Display port to DVI adaptor that I would like to connect to another monitor.

I have Windows 7 and have been unable to get windows to extend the desktop to both of the external monitors at once.

Is it possible to do this?


The Studio XPS has a Radeon HD5730, which should support Eyefinity. Using the VGA port and DisplayPort simultaneously should be possible; however, you will not be able to use the built-in display at the same time. You can either have the internal display and one external display, or two external displays, but not all three. If that still isn't working, try updating your graphics drivers to the latest version from ATI (not from Dell's site) and see if it works then.


The other solution would be to use an external graphics card, from USB out, such as the ones found below.
