Your right most on-board graphics cards wouldnt support dual screen. I have hard of a software solution, I dont remember any sites or apps., google would be your best bet.

I will say that adding a second video card would be the easiest way to do it. After installing the card all you have to do is change the display settings to tell Windows that you'll be using two monitors and there you go.
