    You want a Matrox DualHead2Go which can be found at a few online etailers for around £160.

    If you're not gaming on the two monitors, you're better off with a second 'low-end' graphics card if there is room on your motherboard, save yourself a good £140.

    Re: 2 monitors 1 dvi port help please

    Could you not use VGA for the second monitor?

    Or get a new GPU... something like a HD4550 would give you DVI and HdMi. Or a HD4850 for 2*DVI

    Both less than £85

    Thank you, a sane reply at last.
    We need to know more about your current setup and what you are trying to do with it.

    Without that information any answer given here is pointless and will probably end up in you wasting money buying stuff you don't need or will not do what you want it too.
