Not easily: there is only a single external graphics output. You could use something like a Matrox DualHead2Go product...
That, and... He'd need the Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter, and he can't run dual LED Cinema Displays.
hi,
i have allready got a 24" display using the Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter, but seems like i will have to buy a maxtrox dualhead to go.. for 2 screens
My first post...
Hey everyone, sorry to tag on to this thread, but i have a similar issue...
I need to connect two external monitors to my macbook... it would be visually so helpful.
I currently connect one 20" LCD monitor via a mini Displayport to VGA, i also have a second identical screen knocking around i would like to connect and was thinking about just buying a VGA splitter and seeing if this works? Am i way off and do i really need to follow the previous advice and use a Mini Displayport to DVI to connect these screens plus the Matrox?
I would really appreciate any advice, thanks.

A VGA splitter will not help you at all: it does not magically enable a single output to drive two displays with two different images (unless it's the Matrox box which is not really a splitter).
