Hello. I have a ATI Radeon Mobility HD 4650 installed in my Dell Studio 17.

I need to know if this card is capable of running two external independent displays in addition to the laptop display. I have a HDMI output and a VGA output. What would I need in order to run two external monitors. I have tried one monitor on HDMI (w/ HDMI to DVI cable) and another on VGA but I have had no luck.

Thanks.

Thanks for the reply purple stank. I am fairly computer-tech-illiterate. I read the specs before posting the question. I saw where it says "Drive two displays simultaneously with independent resolutions, refresh rates, color controls and video overlays for each display".

I do not know if that means it can drive two external displays + the laptop display or if 2 display would include the laptop.

I am not sure what an Eyefinity setup is, but to be clear I need two external moniitors and the laptop monitor to all be an extended desktop and not just a mirror of each other.
