[QUOTE="wheelguy12, post: 1230280, member: 197775"] Finding the right USB dock is indeed a challenge. Most don't go to 1200 lines, and those that do may not yet have reliable drivers or firmware for OSX 10.6+ 64 bit. I found 1 that does appear to do things correctly, though - this is the one I have been using and am very happy with it thus far... [url=http://us.kensington.com/html/17445.html]Universal Docking Station with Video sd300v - K33930US - Kensington[/url] If you get this one, be sure to download the latest Mac drivers from the chip maker - DisplayLink. It's primary limitation is video rate. I can pump up the screen to 1920x1200, but can only watch youtube videos in a window at about 800x600. Of course, you can go full screen 800x600 and that works fine too. By "do things correctly" I mean that it sleeps when I close the lid, and wakes when it should too without ever crashing the Mac or simply blank screening like I've seen many other users of other systems complain about. Let us know what your findings are. [/QUOTE]
