[Thinkpad] Dual monitors and docking stations

[Rosen, Robert (NIH/NIAMS) [E]]

Based on a Powerpoint presentation I just got from Lenovo, the top end dock holds a disk or equivalent, a PCI-X card and a graphics card (not clear if that's separate or the PCI-X card can be the graphics card).  In addition it supports dual monitor support without a graphics card using the DVI-D and VGA output jacks if your Thinkpad has a separate graphics CPU (i.e.,  not the integrated graphics).

The docking station that I got with my T60 back in september only has the
vga output and "dvi-d?" I guess. This is the "Enhanced? Docking station".

Everything about these newer models seem more "un-enhanced" for my needs.
The docking stations I had for my A30 back, had a PCI port whereby you could
install say a dual head video card, or whatever else you might need.

Does anyone know if the new Thinkpad docking stations support driving dual
desktop monitors.  What little info there is on the Lenovo  web site that I
can find just says it has DVI-D and VGA outputs.
