This is my computer
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport...riesId=5295962

It has a VGA slot and a DVI slot, and on that link I posted it says this. "Integrated Graphics
*Integrated video is not available if a graphics card is installed.
Supports PCI Express x16 graphics cards
Either integrated graphics or the PCI Express x16 slot are usable at one time; they are not usable concurrently
DVI and VGA ports (Can be used at the same time)"

I don't really know what a DVI slot is, does that mean I can plug another monitor in it?

All that information means is that if you install your own video card, you can't use the integrated video card (the one built into the motherboard) at the same time.

You should not have an issue with two displays by using the DVI and VGA ports.

A dvi port is a port used for monitors, it is different from vga because vga is analog and dvi is digital hence theoretically offering you better performance.
