    Unless the DVI port for the onboard video is a DVI-D (D for dual) port, then the best you're going to get using a DVI splitter is cloned or mirrored displays.

    The computers at work are most likely using a card something like this,

    Newegg.com - ATI 100-505139 FireMV 2200 64MB DDR PCI Low Profile Workstation Video Card

    that has a DVI-D port, which when used with the included splitter cable can display to two monitors in extended mode.
