Hello everyone.

I need your help.

I have a laptop with HDMI, DVI and DisplyPort outputs. I want to connect 2 displays (both with VGA outputs only).

I have a i7 3740qm which supports 3 displays maximum. But I heard that my procesor can only output 2 signals at once. 

So, is there any chance that I can run all 3 displays at once?

Thank you for any help.

Regards

is the DVI port DVI-I or DVI-D? If it is DVI-D, You van buy a DisplayPort to VGA adapter, and a DVI-D to VGA adapter

Are you sure? I thought DVI-I was VGA compatible.

well, I honestly forget. I know one is Digital-only (the one with fewer pins) and one had digital & analog support (the one with more pins)
