Best thing to do on a PC is just buy a cheap internal card, they are not hard to install at all and most are self installing. I got a 1GB memory ATI Radeon card from Tigerdirect for $50.

i beg the differ Lonman, my (3) old Dell Optiplex sx280 desktops is capable of dual display with the help of a converter TRITTON SEE2 TRIUV200 only supports 1024x..resolution..my`Samsung monitors has ( main )1366 x 768, 32 bits 60hz .resolution,and the ext. has 1360x768 32 bit ,tried lowering the resolution on them but the screen looks funky.. a friend who has the same desktop and using it to do shows also is able to have dual display also with the help of a converter he bought from monoprice..like i said the only problem i have was that when playing music videos on ext. monitor it goes out of sync, but it plays fine on main w/o any problem.. i could replace the graphic cards if i could, the problem was it's integrated, heck, i already replaced the motherboards, upgraded the cpu's from Celeron D 2.8 to Intel p4 3.0 ( tried 3.6 didnt work ).upgraded RAM to Corsair 4gb and upgraded the hhd's to Samsung 500g 7200 rpm..on all of them, the money i spent rebuilding these desktops is probably enough to get me a new powerful laptop/pc..( it's my way of making myself busy ).i am now waiting on another converter from Provantage that supposedly support a higher resolution monitors..hope it works..i could show you a screen shot, i just don't know how to do it
