It seems like gaming laptops are getting pretty powerful these days, and i know several people have 5 boxed on laptops using the built in screen. Do the gfx cards on high end gaming laptops have enough umph to run an external monitor in addition to the built in LCD? Instead of cramming all clients on 1 screen, i was hoping to put my lead on my main screen, and my slaves on an external monitor. If this is a no go, a may nix the whole laptop idea.

Also, i don't really know a good way to gauge laptop gfx cards compared to desktop cards. Occasionally, i can find sites with benchmarks on the same game, but those are few and far between.
