Hi.

I have a 2.2GHz Merom white MacBook, with 4GB memory. I'm using Keynote on it to create some slides for a presentation for a big Christmas review at the school I work for. The slides will then be presented on multiple screens around the marquee I'll be talking in.

These screens are typically around 20" and easily within the MacBook's upper boundary for external screen resolution. However, since there will be about 15-20 of these in the marquee, do I need a more powerful computer to run them all?

They will all be run using the Mirror Display feature, on a single GMA X3100, through VGA ports. Am I going to need to get faster hardware or an advanced video splitter to make all these displays work?

Basically: does multiple Mirror Displays put more demand on the graphics card that multiple Extended Desktops and, if so, to what extent?

Hope that makes sense!
