Hello,
I got your PM for moderation, thank you.
You can mix and match, yes. The same driver will be used.
The Dell D3100 will offer you dual HD on 2xHDMI and 4Kp30 on DisplayPort.
Please note you CANNOT use a passive DisplayPort to HDMI adapter (called DisplayPort++ standard) to get 4Kp30, you need to use real DisplayPort or an active DP->HDMI converter on this product to get 4Kp30.
The DisplayLink chips in the Dell D3100 will also do audio and Ethernet. Therefore, if you have a monitor with audio, or wish to plug speakers/headphones, you can.
We do not regularly test more than 6 external displays as the test matrix is unmanageable (platforms, adapter, docks, monitors, input type and resolutions make quite a few variables).
Even if all technically will work over a single USB 2.0 connection, I would strongly recommend you connect the Dell D3100 to a USB 3.0 port on the machine. You may attach the Plugable adapters to the Dell D3100.
The Dell D3100 was issued long after that platform, that's why it is not listed as supported, even if it is compatible.
If you are using Windows 7 and you get our driver installer moaning about the USB 3.0 Host Controller (HC) driver being outdated, I would strongly recommend you get the update as it will greatly improve your experience as early USB 3.0 HC drivers had quite a few bugs...
Kind regards,
Alban
