How can i set up dual monitors on my PC without two video inputs.?

I have been wanting to set up dual screens on my PC, but it doesn't have 2 video out puts, just one VGA output. Is there anything i can buy to make that i can get dual monitors without replacing the video card? Or is there something i can buy so that i can set them up? Would a VGA splitter work or would that just display the same image?|||VGA splitters can only display the same image. You will NEVER be able to drive two monitors independently using a VGA splitter.



Without replacing the graphics card, to drive two monitors independently using just one VGA port requires either an external USB video card or a Matrox DualHead2Go, neither of which is cheap and both suck badly in performance-- Slow and limited in resolution.



Your best option for driving two monitors remains upgrading the video card (assuming that your computer has a PCIExpress 16x slot to receive a better card).|||You can't split the VGA signal because I don't think you want identical output for both monitors. You want be able to transfer things from 1 monitor to the other. You either have to buy another identical video card or replace the video card you have with an upgraded videocard that has two ports.|||the only way is a new video card
