Yes, like the guy said above me it is possible to do that on one card...
If you are just wanting the card for dual monitoring purposes then you could pick up a card for about 50 bucks...
Here are some video cards that have that function...
I would recommend 2 DVI ports abose to VGA

Most new video cards come with a VGA and a DVI output , or two DVI outputs. Either of these configurations will allow you to run a second screen.
Your second screen can then be set up in 3 different ways
Clone - both screens display the same
Extended - your desktop is stretched over the two screens
Dual - this is the option you will probably want. it allows the second screen to be a different resolution and have different settings etc.
Yes. Almost all aftermarket video cards support this kind of feature. I'd personally recommend an nVidia video card with two DVI outputs.
this is probably extra durable to discover a first rate gfx card that would not have twin dvi outputs at present! for CAD you're extra effective off with the nvidia quadro sequence yet they are particularly costly which you would be able to might desire to compromise on the quantity of onboard memory consistent with threat.
