Well I can't speak for the Inspirons themselves but the Dell Latitude 
notebooks were very quiet and they did support two monitors (at least a 
mirrored display on Ubuntu, I'd presume that they would support 
Xinearama or whatever it's called too - at least my old D610 had an ATI 
Chipset which was supported by both free/non free drivers).
