Optiplex 330 Dual Monitor Setup

Question

I noticed my new Optiplex 330 came with two video cards:  a Radeon HD2600 in DVI, and an onboard VGA card.  I would like to use both simultaneously, but when I plug in two monitors and start the computer, only the onboard card turns on and generates a bios error that I am plugged into the incorrect video card. Is it possible to have both monitors at once with the cards and bios available?

Thank you for using the Dell Community Forum.

You cannot use the onboard video. In order to use dual montors with the video card you would need to get a dongle. Is this the ATI HD 2400 video card?

I tried to connect two additional monitors with my main monitor. But the two additional monitors showing same number on clicking 'identify' in graphic properties. Any help to resolve it?
