Two Displays with MacBook Pro (lid-closed)?

[LostPacket]

I know the MBP has the same dual display mode as the PBs, but I'd like to run two Dell 24" LCDs with the lid closed. Is that possible with the dual-DVI port? In theory wouldn't it be possible to split the channel into two separate video-outs?

Or am I being too greedy...

Not possible. The Dual-DVI port cannot be split.

It's Dual-Link DVI, not "dual DVI". Dual-Link just lets you run higher resolutions than single link DVI interfaces.

Yes it is possible, but not through its own videocard. You have to put an extra video card in the pcmcia slot (or however it is called), then it should be possible! Look at www.villagetronic.com for more possibilities/solutions.

No way. That card SUCKS. Doesn't support any OSX video features so it slows down the whole graphics system for both monitors. I had one and thought it was cool for like a few weeks until I got tired of the massive speed reduction in every graphics task the video card performs. For instance when you use expose it is so slow its like using expose on a powermac 8500. Stay away from it.
