Getting a new laptop: question about my monitor set up.

[FoxwoodsFiend]

I'm getting this laptop, which has a Nvidia GeForce 8700M GT Graphics with 512MB DDR3 Video Memory card.

I have 2 questions:
1) Will this card support a dual-link DVI monitor (the 30" 2560x1600 Dell monitor)? I googled the laptop's video card and it says that particular video card has dual-link DVI support, but I'm hesitant to make a purchase without somebody who actually knows about computer telling me my monitor will work with this laptop.

2) Is there any way to get this laptop connected to two monitors? I want to hook it up to the Dell 30" and to my 1680 x 1050 Samsung Synchmaster monitor. My desktop has two ports for monitor cables: would it be possible to get a laptop with two ports also?

If it's not possible to do that for this laptop, does anybody know of any non-Mac laptops w/1920x resolution that can connect to my two monitors?

Thanks for any help, I'm really clueless about all this.

1) Yes, it was confirmed in notebookforums.com, you can search google for those threads using the model #.

2) No, not without some external device. I've never heard of a laptop with two video-out ports of any kind (they might exist, but unlikely).

Here are some that I found, looks pretty costly though:

lots of dells have two inputs, but dont have the capabilities to run a 30" monitor and another monitor. I asked this to dell tech support and he said this isnt even close to possible.

the laptop in the OP can run a 30' monitor
