Thinkpad 2631 Docking Station Compatible with X Series? *PIC

[shalliday]

Does the Thinkpad Docking Station Type 2631 - FRU 02K8660 work with the X Series and if so, is there any advantage to using it over the ultrabase?



As always, appreciate your feedback and opinions.

it has a dvi cable, and I think you need to use a video card that support it for X series to use dvi.

also have pci slot for you to put a video card, but limited only few models.

Thank you for the link. After reading thru the documentation I noticed it states:

NOTE!
DVI pass-through is only supported in combination with a ThinkPad A20p, A21p, A22p and A31p.

so I am guessing it is not a good choice for X Series owners because it does not support a DVI connection. I really want to run a two monitor setup and was hoping this would be the answer.

Thanks again. Much Appreciated.

with the pci slot available in that docking station you can try to look for pci video card that have 2 dvi connectors...though i'm not sure if theres any with 2 dvi and a pci slot out there...
