whats needed to hook up these two monitors?

Work gave us new computers. They let us keep our old monitors so we can have two monitors. I know it will be forever for them to come back with the hook ups for it so I wanted to ask you guys if it is a cheap enough thing for me to get what I need.

Still Windows XP Pro. PC is a Dell Optiplex 960.
new monitor is HP Compaq LA1951g. I see a plug and play Monitor on Intel(R) Series internal Chipset under display properties. Display devices says Intel Graphic Media Accelerator Drive. Operating mode set to single, primary device monitor.
old monitor is a Dell model 1707FPc

Do you need any other info?

I just need to know how to get my old monitor hooked up so I have two monitors working. I assume I need a cord of some type.

 

Hi missy77, have a look at this link:http://www.ehow.com/how_5877326_hook-two-monitors-one-desktop.html

Should give an idea of what is required. Cheers Neil.

 

great thanks!

 

I have been seeing this since this new computer was set up. It is the monitor status. It pops up whenever I turn the monitor off and on. It shows:
DVI no signal
VGA active
Auto-switch on
Default source DVI


Both monitors have the same connectors. I dont see two of the same ports on the PC. SO is this when I need a external usb video card?
