Get a DVI to VGA converter, or use the current DVI witha flat screen (not CRT). You card also needs to be able to display 'dual display' (as most of the nVidia cards do).

yeah im going to put to flat screens together, but will there be any difference in picture quality if im using a dvi on one and vga on the other?

DVI is digital and VGA is analog. If you already using an LCD display you should have been using the DVI connection in the 1st place! You may notice the VGA connected monitor to have a slighly worse pic (usually distortion/lack of sharp edges).

If your LCD doesn't have DVI then you are using analog, if it does have dvi like detrunks said you should have been using it.

Likely your card came with a DVI to VGA connector, but if it didn't you should be able to find one cheap.

As for quality, if you have to use the DVI to VGA connector you are going from digital to analog, so there won't be any quality difference, since you are using analog on both.
