Prob'ly OT: Drive two monitors from laptop?

[Guest Ed from AZ]

I don't really know where to go for this solution, so I thought I'd

ask here first because I know most of you have dealt with just about

everything!!

 

I have an older Dell Latitude laptop (one external standard monitor

port, no DVI). I know I can hook up one external monitor. Is there a

cheap and easy way to hook up two flat screen monitors that will

display the same thing? I've seen add-on boxes costing over $1400!

WIll a simple splitter cable work?

A splitter will only give you two screens showing the same thing. If

that is what you are after, then good.
