Hello,
I have an old ThinkCentre (8141-37U) that has a built-in VGA port. I now want the ability to attach a second monitor that I have on had and use the extended desktop option. I am having problems locating an adapter compatbile to the ThinkCentre. I would love to have the DVI and VGA ports on the adapter. Can anyone suggest an adapter that will work with my computer.

It appears you have an integrated Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 900 that dose support two displays but it appears to only have one VGA output on the back. Your motherboard has a x16 PCIE slot so you could put a low powered graphics card in there and get your two monitor outputs, if you wanted to.
