Dual Monitors

Does this motherboard support dual monitors? I have 2 VGA monitors, so I presume that I need at least to get a second VGA port, either by a DVI 25+1 to VGA converter or by adding a graphics card. If I get a graphics card, will I need it to have dual VGA or could I run one screen off the built in VGA port and the second off the graphics card VGA port?

You can run dual monitors on this motherboard. If both of your monitors are VGA you will need a DVI-to-VGA adapter.
