Extend desktop using VGA splitter?

With a C2D integrated graphics, is it possible to have two monitors that display an extended desktop?

If yes, which shop sells a VGA splitter?

No, not that. I mean having the monitors showing two different images.

Intel says it is possible, but I am getting contradictory information all over the place off the web.

Yes you can. My office dual screen showing 2 different things can be done.

BUT is on i5 1st gen. So not sure about your C2D.

But whats your purpose?

I tink older mobo can use 1 digital + 1 analog. eg vga + dvi

Basically I have a C2D system where I want to hook a second monitor up with, so that I have two screens to use at the same time. I just want to make sure that I buy a splitter that can do what I intend.

office dell pc should be integrated gfx.
so there is only 1 VGA port.
if you buy splitter, you see the same thing on 2 monitor.

i research before, what u need is those usb to vga adaptor...
1 end connect to your office dell usb port. the other end connect to the 2nd monitor.

take note of the supported resolution of the adaptor when u buy...

Before I change to PC recently, I was using this USB VGA with laptop for 3 monitors setup.
