Assuming you have multiple ports for DVI/VGA cables you just plug them in and set up Horizontal span on your display properties.

there is sadly only 1 exit

Well you add the monitor to that.

But seriously? Multiboxing on a Laptop? Its suicidal at best.

you could use a matrox dualhead or triplehead 2go to achive this, but even if you did that I suspect a laptop with a 15.4" screen will choke on 5 wow's

Well i relly hoped for my laptop to do the job

intel C2 DUO T7500 2,20GHz 800MHZ 4MB
2 GB (2X1GB) DDR2 PC6400
NVIDIA® Geforce 8600M GT 512MB

i do have 3 other machines but thay all kinda suck 1700-2800 mhz all of the have crappy Video cards readon 9200 ect

so i kinda hoped to ignore the normal laptop sreen totalt and just add 2 monitos to it

maybe i should just sell all 4 machines and use the money for a real pc

that's a pretty nice laptop... you Might be able to get away with 5 boxing on it....

you could test it out, make 4 trial accounts, open up 5 wows and keep the windows open and goto stormwind/ogrimar and see what your framerates are.....
