Two monitors from one output?

Previously I've always ran dual monitors, one from a DVI port and another from the VGA output. However, I’ve just bought a new PC (a Dell Dimension 5150C) and it only has a half-height gfx card with a single DVI output. Probably not, but is there any way I can run both monitors from this one output?

Alternatively, there is an onboard VGA port but when I connect a monitor up to both ports, it fails when the machine POSTs, asking me to remove one and reboot the machine. Is there any way I can get around this and use both?

Thanks

not worried about 3D performance, I dont play games on my machine so it shouldn't be an issue....
