T410s : discrete vs integrated graphics, multiple displays

#1 Post by ljwobker » Mon Feb 08, 2010 12:01 am

does anyone know if the integrated-graphics-only models of the T410s will support multiple displays?

If so, is there a way to do this without a docking station?

Today's integrated graphics chips handle double displays pretty well (more than two isn't possible on discrete either). The T410s will have a VGA and DisplayPort ports. Out of those and the laptop display, you can use any two simultaneously.

ok, cool. I had plenty of problems getting it to work on my T400 with integrated-only, but that may be user error rather than "not capable" ...

I am about to purchase a T410 (i7 620m processor, NVDIA 3100m 256MB DDR3 graphics with AMT, 4 GB RAM) with discrete graphics and plan to run two Dell HD 22" (S2209W) monitors by docking the T410 on the Mini Dock Series 3 Plus and utlilizing the two DVI-D outputs.

Anyone see me having any issues with this setup? Thanks...
