DVI / VGA Question

A friend of mine just purchased two LCD monitors. Both are DVI-I. His computer only supports VGA. What cable / adapter would he need to run dual monitors?

How old is that video card?
DVI ports have been around for a long time.

And not to mention the monitors usually have VGA ports on them too.

Must be a new Dell with integrated graphics. My parents bought a Dell E521 last fall. Only VGA output.

Very surprising that there is no VGA input on the monitor. Do you know the make/model?

In any case, a VGA to DVI adapter will enable the connection
