They make USB video cards. Basicall a little box that has a VGA, DVI, or HDMI and plugs into a usb port. The speed is not great but they will drive extra monitors for web browsing, e-mail and such.

Why? My old dell i use my old Dell monitor as my second screen and it displays 1680x1050 with a BANGING soundbar. One of those ones your teachers probably had in school.

I have my 1060 GTX plugged into my 1080p monitor via HDMI

and my second monitors is VGA>Hdmi converter>Hdmi port on mobo.
