Well I currently have a Stuido 17 running vista. I am trying to set it up so I can stow the computer away under my desk and run remote keyboard, mouse and dual monitors. I changed my settings for what closing the lid does and am also considering buying my monitors and a Lenovo notebook port replicator but wanted to make sure this could be done before I do so. My major questions are: Can I run both monitors off the one laptop? Will the processing speed be able to handle two remote monitors run while the lid is closed? Will this support gaming quality performance? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I believe my only video outputs are a 15pin VGA and an HDMI
