Dual monitor cards

[Daveybumper]

Hi

I use computers for producing music and am not too advanced in the computer knowledge. I wish to have two monitors running from one computer at the one time. I want to be able to view two different production screens at the same time, having the monitors as one big monitor with each "window" on either side. I have a graphics card with one VGA output (which is attached to the lead that comes from a modern monitor). My computer spec is as follows:

Dell Studio Intel Core2Quad , CPU QB200 @ 2.33GHz, 4GB Ram, Windows Live 7 Ultimate Edition 32 Bit OS.

Dont know what type of graphics card but i know that there is no other serial output for visuals.

Can anyone advise me on what to purchase in order to resolve my problem, i tried using ehow and it told me to find out the bus type of the computer without telling me where or what a bus type is?

I dont want to purchase something that is not compatible

Thanks for taking the time to read this message and i hope you can help me

Which exact model of Dell Studio do you have? That determines what your upgrade path is.

Some questions: Will the computer be used for dual-monitor editing/autocad type applications? Or have you got gaming in mind?

Is it a studio one 19? That is the only Dell studio I can find which has a Q8200 + 4GB of RAM.

I'm not sure that is correct though, as that is an all-in-one PC, so the monitor and the computer are one.
