Triple Monitor MacBook Pro July 2010 Model

[ericbe]

Hello,

I want to triple monitor my MacBook Pro that I purchased in July of 2010. Specs for my notebook are below. I currently have an external monitor hooked up through the miniDV port, but I wanted to see if it was possible to add a second external monitor.

Does anyone know of any products that utilize USB, Firewire, or anything like that? I am not a computer guy, but I'm pretty sure MacBook Pro video cards don't support more than one external monitor. Has anyone used any products that can accomplish it?

Specs:
MacBook Pro 15"
Purchased July 2010
OS X Version 10.6.4
2.66 GHz Intel Core i7
8GB Memory, 1067 MHz DDR3

Thanks,

E

external DVI-D through a USB adaptor would be your best bet.

even if its possible the video card would die out fast.

You can use a USB -> DVI adapter. It won't run nearly as smoothly as the display from your miniDP, but it's good for things that aren't video or fast moving.

Incorrect, they support four 1920x1200 displays, or fewer but higher resolution displays through one MDP.
there are just no displays yet to support MDP daisy chaining.
