That's definitely the easiest way to do it. A simple GeForce 4 TI4200 will work fine. Mine has multiple video-OUTS, and I can duplicate the monitor, make the desktop extended, or do various other things with another monitor. Make sure to get the DVI=>VGA converter like Pragma said! NVIDIA's drivers actually come with the settings needed to make this work. It's easier than you'd think.
