    Just wanted to post that I was able to get 4 monitors going with the E6420. My E6420 has the Nvidia graphics card. Using the docking station I connected 3 Monitors, 1 VGA, 1 DVI and 1 DisplayPort to DVI-D Single-Link Active Adapter. I was able to use the three monitors at 1920x1080 and the Laptop screen at 1600x900. I've attached a picture of all 4 monitors running and the link to the adapter I purchased is below.
