    I was just wondering if it was possible to get one of those dual-monitor VGA cables (the ones that split one into two) and use that for supporting two external monitors? I did a bit of googling and I read that the graphics card needs to be able to support that and I'm not sure if the acer 4820tg (ATI 6550M) card supports it. Does anyone know?

    And a followup question if it is possible: is it possible to do that same with HDMI cables instead of VGA ones?
