Splitting VGA signal for projector

[imported_g33k]

I am making a presentation. I would like to split a 15 pin vga connection from a desktop pc to a crt monitor + lcd projector. What should I use?

There are splitter cables that will do this, but it will really impact the video quality negatively from my experience.

Do you need them both on at once, or would a switch work?

Also, the easiest solution might be just to get a dual-VGA video card for the desktop. In fact, unless this thing is an ancient corporate desktop or something, it likely has one already...

Nope this pc is ancient by AT standards. PIII coppermine with Intel extreme graphics. It only has one vga port. The monitor is in front of me, while the screen display is behind me, so I would need them both on at the same time. I guess I'm looking for something that will not degrade quality too much. But, I don't want to spend a lot of money either. Any suggestions?

a splitter box (like the ones that say compusa uses with 20 monitors, but even for 2) would probably cost less than say buying a used pci or even a new pci dual head card. you can easily buy say a radeon ve pci or something like that (if the machine doesnt have pci, which a lot of p3s with intergrated intel video did not have)
you can just set it up in windows to do a mirror desktop.

Thanks for your replies. I found this Video Splitter Box that looks ideal for my use. I also found a cheap AGP Video card for a few dollars more. I think I'm going to go with the splitter box.
