Greeting - You will need to buy a PCI express graphics card (NVIDIA eg.) - plug it on one of your PCIe slots, connect another monitor and then set dual display (dont forget to install the driver that comes on a disc together with the card first). You also have the option of buying and using a simple PCI display card as your board has one PCI slot (you will need to have the right graphics driver for your installed for this option). Never buy an AGP graphics as your board has no AGP slot.
