my ati 9600 pro (many cirrent card also) have a vga and a dvi port

i used a converter so i have two crts for my display...if you're using a built in(mobo) video card then it'll prolly have one output....so yeah, you need to buy a card

you can get a a cheaper ati card like the 9000 or 8500

and get a converter and you'll be set

but 2d quality on the matrox's are better
