Three monitors on a Macbook Pro

[Vlade]

Does anyone know if its possible to run three monitors off a macbook pro, do they make a DVI splitter cable or anything? I'm running both my 15" macbook pro monitor and a dell 24" and I would love to throw in my dell 19" monitor and just sell my PC I built that goes with it.

This should do it. http://www.matrox.com/mga/workstation/cre_pro/products/th2go/home.cfm

Mighty expensive though. And notice that using the TripleHead2Go on two monitors will make em act as one and not two separate monitors.

If I'm not mistaken, that's windows only.

I know the PowerBooks can't do it. I tried it on my PowerBook last night. TV out on the S-Video port, an external monitor on the DVI port, and then of course the laptop display, and it didn't work.

There is a PCMCIA addon for Powerbooks though, its still not available (and nothing points that it will) for macbooks.

Yeah but magma has released a pci express adapter, to allow people to use regular pci cards with the macbook pro pci express slot.

For that kind of pricing I rather just shell out an extra 1k and get a Mac Pro, no offense.

No offense taken.

I agree, if I need to run that many monitors I would just go with a desktop system. But hey, a solution is a solution for whoever is willing to pony up the dough.
