Experiences with Dock II?

#1 Post by LegendaryKA8 » Fri Jun 26, 2009 11:01 pm

Hey there. Firstly, since there seem to be more than a few of them for sale, there's what I think is a very good deal for brand new, factory sealed Dock IIs for $35 shipped on Feebay.

That said, the price looks right so I'm tempted to pull the trigger. But before I do, I want to hear about how people here use theirs... just in case there's things I can do with a dock I haven't really thought about.

So, before I decide to plunk down to get one of these... what would it really be useful for? I know dual monitors would be a reality... would two plus the T42's LCD be possible? Would I need a secondary video card to do this?

Yes, to have more than (any) 2 monitors at the same time, you will need a separate video card in the dock.
