Is the dvi port on an hp p5730 (i3-550, h57 integrated hd graphics) a dual link port? Can I just get a DVI-D dual link splitter and have two monitors? (I actually want three; I already had one monitor plugged into the DVI port and one in the 15 pin port.)

Chances are that there is a DVI and a VGA port on that computer maybe even an HDMI port.

Just plug one monitor into the DVI and the other monitor into the other one of those two.

IMO invest in a cheap GPU like an ATI 6770 or the Nvidia equivalent.
