most of todays quality graphics boards (starting around $150) have 2 video out ports.
just connect a monitor to each and you're set
to be frank, I am not sure what you trying to accomplish, so I just list few thing to take note onQuote:

if it is video card it should have two ports, so connect each screen to separate port
if you have only one port and it is build-in in MB, then do yourself a favor and buy a video card at least for $150-200
if you video card have only one port get better card
if you have a latest card with two ports and you want third screen using only two ports then you can get TripleHead2Go to stretch one window across two or three screens, but it is not what you call cheap
if you consider spliter like above make sure it is for ANALOG only, I heard too many horror storyes of fryed monitors and video ports if you try to do that with DVI
next time be more cleare on what you tring to accomplish, you will be surprise on how accurate info you can get around here, your post is too vague >.>
