At least now I know a splitter won't work, using 1 VGA and 1 HDMI should work though...right?

That's the one I was talking about. Using 1 VGA and 1 HDMI should work if your onboard video supports multiple monitors. Not all do even when they have multiple connectors. You'd have to read the fine print in the motherboard manual to be sure.
