hi guys

i am looking for a way to plug a second vga or hdmi display in to my macbook pro is there a usb or firewire way to do this or any way that some one can come up with

Just by the power button is your DVI output. iirc you should have had a DVI to VGA convertor in the box

If you want HDMI you'll need a DVI to HDMI Cable

I think he means plug in 2+ differing external displays.

This could be done on the PowerBook as there was a PC Card slot.

"I now have multiple monitors working from my MacbookPro pro using the Magma ExpressBox1 Pro along with a NVidia GeForce 7300GT. It's not a cheap solution but it is the first I've seen working with each monitor treated as such by osx."
