Hooking Up Dual-Monitors for a Dell Optiplex 3020

Anyone know how to achieve this? Just bought the computer, thinking it had capabilities to use an HDMI cord to make this work.
I am technologically retarded, so pictures of what is needed would be of GREAT help.

I think these come with display port, not HDMI.

That is correct...can I purchase a Display Port to HDMI converter to make it work?

I'd imagine they do. I can't answer that for sure. I know the 3010 came with VGA and HDMI and you could plug 1 monitor in VGA and another in HDMI and that would work. You can convert to HDMI but there won't be sound(I don't think).

I have the Optiplex 9010 and had to get the duel monitor cord from Dell. Our IT guy had something he thought would work but it would not. Not sure if this has changed in the last year or not.
Good luck.

According to the manual, the 3020 SFF has one PCI-e x16 slot which is typically used for a video card. The system comes with integrated video and can be ordered with either AMD HD8570 or HD8490 video card.
