Matrox Graphics announced the immediate availability of Mac-compatible versions of the DualHead2Go and TripleHead2Go multi-display adapters on Thursday. The adapters connect to the video-out port on Desktop and portable Macs, and let you use either two or three external displays as a single monitor without requiring any additional hardware or software.


The Matrox DualHead2Go.

The DualHead2Go supports resolutions up to 2560x1024, and the TripleHead2Go supports resolutions up to 3840x1024. They are priced at US$169 and $299, respectively.

That looks very nice, though, I wonder, would there be a performance hit?

Answered my own question:

Will DualHead2Go slow down my computer?

No. DualHead2Go does not depend on the limited bandwidth of your USB connection, nor does it depend on the limited bandwidth of any PC Card bridge. Your 2D, 3D and video performance will be just as good as on your notebook alone. The more powerful your existing graphics card, the more powerful your multi-monitor environment.
