I have a HP dv9830us laptop. It has a vga-out and a hdmi-out port.
I want to know if it's possible to use 3 devices, each one with different displays, using just one graphic card - NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GS? (Original, vga with an external monitor and hdmi with a full hd tv). Where I can find this kind of information?
If not possible, I would like to know alternatives like:
- "Usb" solutions to be possible to connect to the external lcd or to a TV. The TV should be flawless, but the second monitor can have slow response times;
- Cheap PCMCIA video cards to be possible to connect to an external monitor, so I would use the hdmi with the tv and this second video card to output to another monitor.
I'm using Windows 7 and Ubuntu 10.04. Is this possible in both systems?
