Okay, so I currently am using a monitor that is using a VGA cable, and has a DVI converter. Works just fine on the top port. But I have another monitor that is also VGA that I want to use dual monitors with. But my video card only has 2 DVI ports. So I bought another VGA-DVI converter.. but for some reason the bottom port doesnt work with that. Only the top works with the converter. I looked it up, and found some stuff, but im still a little confused and figured i'd double check before i went out and bought a new cord.

From what I read.. the bottom port is DVI-D, and VGA converters dont work in that. Is this true? And if that is true.. could I buy a DVI-D cable for the bottom port, and use the VGA converter in the top? I was looking at this cord.. would this work?

Most cards these days will only run a single VGA monitor, any others have to be digital.
