MBP and 2 ACDs

[MacHiavelli]

Hi

I've searched the forums but can't find an answer for this ....

If I buy a MBP can I attach 2 ACDs to it? If yes, how?

If I only attach 1 ACD, can I have the MBP screen showing one file (say a Word doc) and the ACD showing another file (say a PDF)?

With thanks

Yes..

Yes with one screen attached you can put whatever you like on either screen..
As for getting two external displays working you would need to buy an extra piece of hardware..

More info on that here..

The MBP only has one output, so only one screen. There is a Matrox device that allows two, relatively low resolution, displays attached. There is a thread kicking around where someone claims that a DVI splitter is allowing two screens but non-one else can get it to work.

Getting on to the second question: yes you can span or mirror. In spanning mode you can have different things on each screen.
