My new graphics card uses DVI ports that I don't have adapters to (and I can't find them on Amazon), and it only has 1 VGA port. Is there a way I can use the VGA port on my motherboard to power a second monitor in addition to using my normal graphics card? If I plug in a monitor will it override the GFX card?

Check your card too, I found out that my 6850 only accepts vga/dvi adapters in 1 of its ports. I had to go out and buy a dvi/dvi cable for my 2nd monitor.

If you have the drivers installed for both your onboard graphics and the dedicated GPU then you CAN run 2 different monitors for each GPU. You'll just run into less problems if you run both monitors on a single card.

Neither of these are really accurate. Whether or not you can use the integrated video while also using a discrete card depends on the motherboard's chipset and the CPU. If you're using an Intel CPU with integrated video, you should be able to utilize both simultaneously. You're not necessarily any more likely to run into extra problems by having a separate GPU power each monitor.
