what i am looking for is a device to enable dual displays, it doesn't necessarily have to be a video card, as the computer is used for financial software programming only (aka no 3d ever used). I found ati 1050's for around $50, assuming that card will handle dual displays, but I was looking for something closer to $20. I know differences between high end hardware, so searches for items like this leave me feeling lost. any help is greatly appreciated
 
Theres a $10 MIR on that card Danny listed, too.

Are both displays DVI only? if so, you'll need something like this:
$53 - Powercolor X1550 512MBDDR2 Radeon X1550 512MB ($10 MIR)
 
thanks for the help, both monitors are vga, so the $30 card will work great, thanks for the help
 
You could also try eBay and look for Matrox PCI video cards. I got 5 of them a while ago for $15. The cards work pretty well with one another so you can add as many displays as you've got cards, just don't expect them to perform well at all in any 3D apps.
