Is it possible to connect two monitors (two Samsung Syncmaster P2770's) to my laptop, making three extended displays (counting my laptop screen) ? It has a nVidia GT 540M with HDMI and VGA ports (one of each). The screens each support HDMI and "VGA (HD-15)". If I plug both screens into their respective ports, will they both extend along with my laptop screen? Also, will the vga "(hd-15)" be able to provide the same resolution for the one screen (1080p) as the other same screen plugged into the HDMI? Will it make my laptop lag? I upgraded to 8gb ram and its brand new. Please could someone help me :)

no nvidia does not do "eyefinity"(nvidia surround they call it) with 1 gfx card, only amd does, only if you have a 6xx series card from nvidia then you can , doubt it includes laptops.
 
Oh. :( So only one external monitor?
Isn't there some sort of adapter for this?
And what if I put one monitor in the hdmi port and one in the vga port?
 
You can also get USB to VGA/DVI/HDMI adapters for about R500 - see http://www.wootware.co.za/catalogsearch/result/?q=sunix+vga&x=0&y=0

I can't promise you that you'll be able to run 2 screens with your Nvidia + another with that USB device, because my colleagues tried to extend their amount of screens from 3 to 4 and it didn't work with that particular adapter.
Don't get me wrong, the adapter works well on its own, but it is never going to be suitable for showing moving objects (such as video clips/games).
