Dual monitor capability?

I have an Inspiron 530 with G33/G31 Express Intel chipset, not sure what other info you may need to help, and would like to know if it's capable of a dual monitor set-up.  I can't believe it wouldn't be as it's only two years old.  Has only one port, it's a VGA port.  Would a splittter work or would my computer not be able to handle it?  Seems like this would be such an easy thing, but nooo...  Am I screwed?!  That'd be sad.

I you use a splitter you will only end up with the same image on each monitor. To have two separate monitors you would need to add in a dedicated video card

What card would you recommend that would get the job done without being too expensive?
