A. Dual Display Configurations:

This motherboard provides two ports for video output: DVI-D and D-Sub.
The table below shows the supported dual display configurations.

Combination Supported or Not
Dual Display DVI-D + D-Sub Yes

The DVI-D means you'd need one monitor with DVI digital input.
A dongle adapter won't convert the DVI-D connector to VGA (as
there are no analog signals hiding on a DVI-D connector). To
understand more about the various types of DVI, see this article.

The second connector is VGA 15 pin, so the second monitor would
need a VGA input.

When purchasing LCD monitors, the very cheapest ones have DVI-D
only on them. That solves the first monitor requirement. You
should check carefully, when purchasing the second monitor, that
it has a VGA input on it as well.
