D800 Dual external LCD display? How?

Question

Just bought a D800 and I want to get dual output to external monitors.  Will the D/Dock do that with a PCI dual-head card?   I am trying to replace a desktop with dual diplays with just laptop.  Since the D/Dock has a PCI slot, it should work. Right?

I have two Dell flat panels.   I want one desktop that stretches across both monitors.

What kind of monitors are you using?  You can go dual (DVI/analog) with the APR. ..................TD

Dell has quite a few models.  Which ones do you have?If one can take DVI and the other VGA, you can use extended desktopwith the APR.  And get a can of alphabet soup while you're at it..........TD

I have the Dell FP1810's.

I think those have DVI and VGA so you should be good to go dual screen with the APR............TD

FYI I was able to resolve my issue with the D/Dock and an NVidia dual head card in the PCI slot.   Works great now.

The NVidia card I used it dual VGA.

What specific nVidia video card did you get to work in the D/Dock? I've tried a ton and never got one to work in it.

I will have to look and get back to you.   I don't recall at the moment.
