I'm not sure of the actual card, but I think the Radeon 9600 AIW XT has dual VGA output. I currently have a Radeon 9700 Pro, and a less ATI Radeon card so I can have 2 monitors. One is hooked up with digital out put and regular VGA. Someone will be of more help on this.

An ordinary GeForce FX 5200 with DVI & VGA ports will do the job at a low cost if this computer isn't going to be used for frequent gaming. If both monitors don't use DVI, you can use the bundled DVI to VGA adapter.
