    Of course it is.

    Does your pc have 2 VGA ports, does each display have a VGA port ?

    Why do I suspect OP is taking one from his on-board VGA and one from his video card?

    You need 2 ports from the video card to pull this off with female VGA on the other end of the 2 cables to match the VGA male ports on the monitor/TVs, or VGA adapters. [This assumes the video card even supports multiple monitors]

    No specs though to give complete answer.

    2 VGA ports is non-existent on modern video cards.

    Techie name is D-SUB for the VGA, if you go searching for a 2 VGA card on say newegg you want to check for 2 x D-SUB in the search.
