Computer question
Hey guys, I have a computer question/issue that I'm trying to resolve. It's probably simple but I haven't dabbled in older (early 2000's) computer tech in a long time. I have this old computer from 2003 that was given to me in a class I took a couple of years ago. It's in great shape and I'm going to give it to my fiance so that she can have a computer to use for work. She really likes my dual monitor setup I have a home and wants the same. The issue is that the computer I'm giving her only has 1 VGA port and nothing else; no DVI or HDMI (obviously no HDMI haha). It does have a DB9 (?) serial port above the VGA port. I've gotten mixed messages about this, but are there legitimate adapters for a DB9 to VGA? Or do I need to invest in a cheap graphics card for the PCI slot? Either way it might cost the same, but I've seen adapters for $2-4 on Amazon, just wanted to make sure I wouldn't run into any major issues.
As far as the specs on the computer goes, I have no clue haha. It's an old Gateway that was used in a bank, 512MB of RAM, I think it has a Pentium 4 processor and that's all I really know. Any help would greatly be appreciated.
