You mean outputs.

i know they make DVI-I to VGA adapters, my question is simply will it work if i connect another monitor into my video card?

Usually. Not all DVI connectors are wired for analog video as well. If it is, then all you need is to plug in the second monitor and then start your pc - it should be autodetected. You can either set up the dual monitor with windows, you can use ATI's own utility (Hydravision I think).
I'm currently running a dual monitor setup here with a GeForce 4 Ti4600. The card has dual DVI out, so I'm using a pair of DVI-to-VGA adapters. With nVidia you can either use the nView utilities (which give you clone or span options), or you can switch it into Dualview which treats the multiple outputs as separate graphics cards. Which one you go for is up to you.
