Connecting 2 monitors to a DV6t-2300

Recommended docking station does not appear to have two connections for monitors.  What is another solution to use 2 monitors with a Pavilion DV6t-2300 using Vista 7 64-bit?

This is a problem with just about any laptop. They will drive 2 monitors but one is the laptop screen. In order to get what is actually 3 screens you have to resort to an external adapter type solution. I actually have one: it is a usb to hdmi adapter I bought at Frys for around $100. It drives a full HD screen and is responsive enough to do light gaming on the external screen. Windows 7 sees it as a third screen you can clone or extend with the other screens.

This one costs less than I paid
