Driving Two External Monitors

How would one go about driving two external monitors from a D620 on a docking station?

I would like to operate an extended desktop over two 19" flat-screen monitors. The D620 is running Microsoft XP Pro with all the latest updates. I do not have any problems running a dual monitor combination as long as one of the monitors is the D620's own panel. The challenge is how to connect the second external monitor - is there another port on the docking station that can drive a monitor?

Thanks,

    If using your notebooks screen as one of the two isn't a problem (both resolutions will be different as both screen sizes will be also), just connecting the 2nd LCD to your VGA port on the laptop will be enough, you won't need the dock for this.
     
    I'm looking for a solution where two extra (two 19 inch 1907FP, identical size/resolution) LCD are atached to the notebook. For this I probably need the Docking station but I'm not sure. Can anybody comment on this?

    You can drive 2 LCD's from the D/Port or D/Dock, one connected to the DVI port and one to the VGA port. In the NVIDIA control panels, choose "Dualview". You can't drive 2 LCD panels in addition to the laptop screen.
