another question concerning docking stations

In the previous thread I started I gave the specs of the laptop I am planning on purchasing. I have run into a snag though. I am planning on hooking the laptop to a docking station and also using two 19/20" LCD monitors for viewing. The only docking station available is one that connects via usb port. I have never seen this before. I am concered I will not be able to hook up two monitors. I called and one man said I could hook one to the laptop and the other to the docking staition. This makes me nervous. I would prefer to hook both monitors to the docking station, but this docking station only has a connection for one monitor.

Here is a web address for the docking station/replicator I am looking at:
Toshiba dynadock USB Docking Station with Video Port (VGA) - Toshiba

Do any of you use this type of docking station with two monitors? If so how is it?

well that does have VGA connector so it should work. All you need for that is VGA cable.

Thank for the reply
I know it has a VGA connection, but would I have problems with the second monitor hooked up to the laptop? I know one monitor would work fine.

I don't see any reasons why not. All you need is to get the drivers installed and you are good to go.
