I just purchased a Dell Vostro 420 and it is running a Windows 7 64-bit OS. Unfortunately, Dell only supports 32-bit Win 7. It is running an Intel Core duo. Can you please advise what graphics card is compatible with this setup for a dual monitor and how I would properly install it on this system? Any help would be appreciated.

Dell made neither the motherboard, cpu or the software. Dell do not make Graphics cards either, so what will be compatible is 'best guess' based on experience. The board was likely made by Foxconn, or similar.
In short, its 'Sod All to do with Dell. Experience tells me you should stick with the age of the machine.
Thats 4 series Nvidia cards, and 5 series A.TI.
The 'But' is your power supply is likely not up to the task. Its a real basket of worms you opened there.

If you just want dual monitors without regard to playing much games on it, this will do just fine, and even has a rebate http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
