Be careful when you choose.  Most dual output cards have a dvi and vga. 
  There are two different types of dvi now out there.  I posted this 
earlier, so check the archives.  Anyway, the older dvi cards you could 
stick a converter on it and it would permit you to connect a vga monitor 
to it.  The newer one will not permit this.  I found this out when I 
purchase my last box.  The pinouts are a bit different, thus one type of 
dvi will not fit the other.

Here's a link another aler provided that does a good job explaning the 
difference.  Pay particular attention to the table at the bottom of the 
page.
