I've been doing the same thing for a while, but with dual 23's. My adapter is an IOGear USB 2.0 DVI adapter. I seem to recall I had to download the OSX drivers from their website, but other than that it works very well.

Note the iMovie will not run if it detects one of these adapters though.

Wow, at $99, this is something I'll have to consider. The options I looked at last year when I bought my MBP were considerably more expensive.

I got the gefen, which is slightly cheaper from amazon. All of the converters seem to use the same displaylink technology, so reviews say they work the same, but price varies from about 80-160. There are some crazy ones for the MBP that can drive a 30 inch monitor and have an external gpu, but it was 500 and reportedly quite loud.

Thanks again Smokey ;)

I see this for $69 in amazon.
