    EVGA adds USB DisplayLink adapter

    If you don't run dual monitor setups, you have no idea what you are missing. And it is extremely easy to do. But EVGA just announced a box that will let you add even more monitors very easily. (I would really like 4 actually)

    They are even giving away 15 of them.

    Edit!!!
    Newegg actually has the higher up model for only $80

    How many of you are running dual display?

    I don't think there is much gaming support, but for everything else it is awesome.
    I run with game on 22" and teamspeak and other apps like temp monitors in the 15".

    Right now I am typing this on the 22", and watching the Simpsons ep. I missed on Sunday on Hulu.com on the 15".

    Ah, a display adapter that connects to the PC's USB port instead of a card slot. Not likely to be something you could run a game from (is 480 Mbps fast enough to feed the polygons, if you preload the textures?) but good enough for most desktop work.

    From http://www.evga.com/articles/409.asp "no onboard GPU" so definitely not for gaming. All rendering must be done by the host.
