It's a bit blurry, but people who know what they might expect to see on a graphics card might recognise said bits:

That round black one is probably SVHS but I'd need to see the arrangement of the pins to be sure. However, more hopefully, that beige one is a DVI monitor connection! (Dual link DVI-I, according to the pin layouts on Wikipedia, which means it does both digital and analogue.) Many flat panel monitors can accept DVI and have a similar connector - check yours. (You'll also need a cable, of course, which will normally have come with the monitor if it's supported.) If one of your monitors can accept the DVI, then you're probably sorted - possibly via a little tweaking in the control panel, I'd expect you can go multi-monitor straight away.

Thanks - I don't recall the monitors coming with that sort of cable, but now I know what it's called I can do some more digging :-)

Also there are adapters for DVI to VGA (I know, I bought one!) so you can use older monitors with graphics cards that have DVI ... need to know what the graphics card is (right click on desktop, properties, settings and see what the graphics card is ... or go through "My Computer".

I'm sure I have one, not least because one came with that graphics card before I lent it to Bug. However it might be in any of eighteen boxes of computer Crapp and I suggest you see if anyone else has one more readily locateable.
