So splitting my mid 2012 mackbook pro into two additional monitors is not an option for this adapter?

Not from that Adapter - No - but you can use the adapter and your HDMI port on the back right - so essentially two cables come out of your machine

I think that is more up to your graphics card and cables than the docking station. Some DVI systems can split to two monitors with a cable splitter and with the VGA that would make 3 but if your DVI is as a single monitor it will only do 2 monitors. I have only two. One DVI and one VGA hooked up in the back.

I would use a DisplayPort to DVI-D adapter, especially since the monitor requires DVI-D for high resolutions. I would think splitting it would reduce the video bandwidth or bits per pixel.

No, you would need something else to use two monitors at once. This is used for switching between two monitors that are used one at a time.

If you have a apple laptop and intend to use display port (only good option), then you need an adaptor because the display port cord is full sized for chaining together with other monitors, not to connect to a laptop

No. One port is one signal. You couldn't even get two displays with one port and a splitter.

Can't get it to run both monitors. Have one in the J5 and other one plugged into laptop. Sort of defeats purpose of a docking station

I have it setup so that either of my laptops can use one central monitor. First you need to figure out what you want your central monitor to be, plug that central source into the VGA out, then the two devices you want to use this display would be plugged into the two in ports.

I have a Dell monitor connected to the docking station's Mini DisplayPort via port via a Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter. I don't know that you can connect two monitors, but you can certainly use your MacBook's screen in conjunction with an external monitor. I hope this helps.

Please be more specific. What is it that you are attempting to do? Are you trying to add a monitor? Do you want to view (2) at the same time? Perhaps (1) or the other or both or? I'll be happy to offer assistance once you clarify. :)

You should really have a USB3 hub for this EVGA adapter. I believe you can use both HDMI and DVI simultaneously. One of my co-workers tested it out and it seemed to work fine on his 2012 Macbook Pro. You may also be able to use the thunderbolt port and get a MiniDP->DVI (or hdmi) adapter for a third monitor.

Yep, it's possible with docks like this Dynadock, or the Plugable Dock Plugable USB 2.0 Universal Docking Station with DisplayLink DVI/VGA up to 1920x1080, Audio, Ethernet, and 4 Available High-Speed USB 2.0 Ports. You just connect the extra monitor to the dock with its own cable, then the dock to the laptop with USB. So assuming that your laptop already has an external VGA port that you can get one external monitor connected to (try that first), then the dock then allows you to add a second external monitor. Your desktop can then be set to span all three screens (your laptop screen, and the two external monitors), which is a cool setup.

I am assuming you want to "extend the displays"? If this is so then no, your video card needs to have two monitor ports in order to "extend the displays". You will only be able to mirror them with this splitter.

Yeah, you don't have to use 2 monitors. You can use this instead of the mini display port.

I only have 1 monitor attached - I can't find any reference that says that more can be connected.

As far as what I have read on another site it can support 2 but for the third monitor you would need an adapter.hope this helps.
