    Was wondering what I need to do to use two monitors on my system... is it just a simple VGA Y or do i need a special video card or what?

    Have a Intel DG965WH

    Using the on-board video.

    Thanks all!

    you need a special adapter if you want to use 2 with on-board video, and it will be terrible picture.

    If you want 2 monitors and a good picture then you want to look for a graphics card with two out puts. some very cheap and the top of the line are very expensiave($57-$900), you would be fine with a low-midrage card ($57-$109)
