I run two 2 24 inch HD wide screens and my laptop display making 3 screens total to create a great extended desktop development display. I use the docking station for one display, my laptop vga port for the next and my laptop screen for the third. I created hardware profiles for home and office with the docking station and I can boot from either very quickly. I love it. It is like having a super wide screen display!
Great Product

No problems with this product. Running Dell Vostro 1520 with XP Pro installed. Have a 22 inch VGA monitor, wireless keyboard and mouse, speakers and mic, gigabit network, all plugged into the docking station. Just plug it into my express card slot on the laptop and I'm read to rock.

I purchased this unit 6 months ago. I am using Vista. I have been able to use the Gigabit port and lots of USB ports. I bought the product for the Gigabit port and the DVI monitor output. The software and Targus support are so poor, that I do not use this product.

This product does not seem to work with Windows Vista. I could not get the integrated sound working, after reinstalling the driver several times. The control panel that the driver installed would not run correctly. I had high hopes, b/c I really want a docking station with DVI output. In addition to the problems with sound though, the DVI output is relatively low quality. Targus states in their documentation that they do not recommend watching DVDs on a monitor connected to the docking station at higher resolutions. Enough said.
