I have a DELL D800 connect to an additional external monitor thru. the docking station(primary still the notebook LCD display).

My questions is: Is there any way to add one more monitor

I bet you have an nVidia video card, but I don't remember wich options are available. With the Radeon 9000/9600, you can have (at least in theory) three monitors and one TV attached, all with their own image.

I think that it is just a matter of connecting the VGA to one monitor and the DVI to annother and enable the devices on the driver.

You can also pick up one of two devices I'm aware of that enables you to add an additional monitor. One is a pc card based video card. The other is a device that attaches to the vga port and in effect splices the signal. I'm not sure if it's a full fledged video card or some trick but it advertises as adding an additional monitor. I'm sorry I don't have links to either at this time.

I only have direct experience with the pc card solution and I can verify it works like a charm. It was a bit on the expensive though, if I recall correctly.
