MC on a notebook/laptop with 3 extra monitors

I am just wondering if anyone is running MC on a notebook which is running Win7 which has 3 extra monitors in addition to the notebook screen (or replacing the notebook screen). If so can you give details as to your hardware?

Thanks,
John

Once, I did use USB graphic card to drive an extra monitor. USB to vga
Look on this link. The store should not be to far from your place

Worked well with MC.

All the best wish for 2014. Thanks for the help and input that you provided to me and all MC users

I just did this google search. "3 monitors on a notebook laptop". There are several good hits. This YouTube shows exactly how to do it.

He has an I7 nootbook (not slow) and is using an external mouse and keyboard so he can be positioned directly in front of his 3 monitors. He also indicates you can have more monitors and shows you exactly how to do it. I was reading the comments at the bottom of the video above and you have to make sure that the notebook(laptop) has a video card that can do this. So I guess you should get the hardward needed and make sure it can actually do it before you buy it (see it with your own eyes).

For anyone who does not currently have more than 1 monitor, this video may be helpful for showing you how to get the monitors in the correct visual order once you have more than one of them attached.
