If your video card has 2 ports on it, they are probably for different types of monitors. But plugging two monitors into the same card would probably give you the same picture on both monitors. If both monitors have the same type of plug, then you just need a second video card. I'm not sure if it takes anything special to get the operating system to use both video cards/monitors independently.

Are the two outlets the same?

i have a matrox parhelia, and ther are more ways to connect the monitors. if you have one DVI output on your card, you can use a "Y-shaped" DVI-I to dual HD-15 cable. This works great with my card an two 19' flat panels.

It depends on if you have a "dual head" card or not. If you do, you may just need an adapter. As stated above, you may just have two connector types for a single head card.

You need a DVI to VGA adapter, ex: [dgu.se...]
