Displaylink and Intel must be working towards on a long term goal to persuade more people to adopt multi-monitor setup. A joint press release said the duo has been working on optimizing Displaylink's USB video technology for Intel 4 Series Express chipset family. This should be interesting as corporate PCs and low-end home PCs aren't as expandable and are limited to an on-board graphics card providing a single DVI or VGA interface. A USB monitor like the Samsung 940UX provides the extra desktop estate with ease. Of course, laptops inherently have a second display port, but Displaylink argues you'll need a third or a fourth monitor down the road. You may as well jump on the multi-monitor bandwagon sooner than later. Displaylink's USB video is a self-contained solution that works on all modern computers, so we reckon the optimization is reportedly on the driver level, and the benefits are lower CPU utilization (unbelievably high even on a duo core machine) and less screen lag (smoother video playback presumably). Intel Series 4 chipset-based users will enjoy a 20% performance improvement after the driver upgrade that is to be distributed via Windows Update. About Everything USB
