That looks very nice, though, I wonder, would there be a performance hit?

Answered my own question:

Will DualHead2Go slow down my computer?

No. DualHead2Go does not depend on the limited bandwidth of your USB connection, nor does it depend on the limited bandwidth of any PC Card bridge. Your 2D, 3D and video performance will be just as good as on your notebook alone. The more powerful your existing graphics card, the more powerful your multi-monitor environment.
