Default Two Monitors One Laptop

I'm sure this will work but want to make sure before I but the hardware. I have a Dell Latitude D820 XP SP2 with a NVIDIA Quadro NVS 120M video card. There is only the one VGA out on the laptop and I want to use two flat panel monitors with the lid closed on the laptop. Do I just need a VGA splitter cable or some other piece of hardware to add another video card?

This would do the trick I think... CBVGAS - S/VGA VGA Splitter cable

Thanks for the tip on the splitter cable but unfortunatly it did work. It works to the point that I have the same screen on both monitor's but what I want is to extend the desktop between both monitors to act a one. Being it's a analog signal and the same signal is going to both monitor's is there hardware that will convert the analog to digital? I'm trying to find the cheap way to do this but with the laptop video card it only has the one VGA out. Anyone have any ideas?

I have got nothing else this morning, I would have a search around on Google. I would do it for you, but I have a fair bit of work to day editing videos...
