Turning on onboard graphics?

I was wondering if there was any way to do this. I am using an Intel DG33TL motherboard which has onboard graphics. I was told that if I were to plug in a monitor in both ports I could get both monitors to work. I've bought both my monitors now and have found out that my onboard graphics gets shut off when I install an actual video card. Is there anyway that i can turn the onboard graphics back on so I can use both my monitors?

Thanks!
 
you have to have two outputs on the graphics card for that to work, otherwise the drivers will conflict between onboard and the graphics card
 
I've only got one input, I bought a barebones kit from TigerDirect.ca, and the card that came with had only 1 input - it was good enough to handle what I wanted to do on a computer and I knew then I wanted to use two monitors at once but I didn't think that I would be attempting to do that almost immediately after buying it. So getting a new video card is the only solution to my problem?

i think an 8500gt would have dual outputs, would most likely run around $60 canadian
