ThinkPad Advanced Dock - Tri Screen?

[Bealers]

Hi

I'm a new Thinkpad owner, the location of the FN key totally blows but other than that it seems to be an *excellent* piece of kit.

Anyway, I'm considering buying the extremely expensive advanced dock off the back of the fact that I see it has a mini PCI slot in it.

I can of course (and already have) run my machine dual screen without a super-expensive docking station. However the possibility of Tri screen interests me greatly. Is this actually possible using this device? Has anyone used this set-up?

Thanks

I've got my Z60m working quad screen and am one happy bunny.

Kit:

• Z60m (see sig), with 2GB RAM and noteably a Radeon x600 onboard video card
• Advanced Dock
• XFX 7600GS Video card (Dabs, £78 inc VAT) it fits perfectly into the PCIe bay and has dual DVI outputs
• 2x Dell 2407WFP Widescreen 24" LCDs
• 1x Dell 2105FPW Widescreen 21" LCD

Before I did anything the laptop was totally updated with BIOS updates etc. I then placed it onto the dock and ran updates again.

After a lot of messing around with conflicting drivers I kept the default x600 ones, closed the 'found new hardware wizard' for the 7600 and downloaded the latest ones from the nVidia site.

In the Bios I set the default display device to be onboard (this was important else the x600 got its knickers in a twist and 'failed to load') and then set the primary display device to be DVI. This last bit simply because my middle monitor (the 2105FPW roated 90 degrees onto it's end and situated between the two 2407's) then switched on first; making the laptop LCD the primary gave no option to make a different monitor the primary under windows.

That was it, I simply had to mess around with laying them out correctly relative to each other under Diplay Properties -> Settings and I now have 4 displays.

It kicks botty.
