Dell Optiplex 990 SFF Graphics Card & Dual Monitors with Extended Display
My Dell Optiplex 990 SFF has an Intel 2000 which I'm learning is no good. I hate that my screened looks super stretched vertically and no matter how much I play with the resolution I can't fix it. It's hurting my eyes.
In addition I wanted to set up dual monitors with extended display. While it's detected, identified, and showing the desktop on both monitors it's in duplicate and I can't get the extended display to work.
I'm no good at computers and have spent HOURS trying to understand all of this. My guess is that I need to upgrade the graphics card? I feel like I can do this from a youtube video. I'm just not sure what I need. I don't think I need anything fancy. Just something basic that will let me do the dual monitors with extended display and address the stretchy screen problem. Recommendations?

Maximum power consumption for SFF is 25 Watts the best card the machine could operate with is:
VisionTek Radeon HD 6350 SFF Low Profile Graphics Card - 1 GB DDR3
From what I understand that card is not very powerful but might be enough to operate multiple monitors in low resolution
