Its not going to work, you need a new monitor. Modern cards only have one compatible analog output and if you put in the old card it may work as a secondary card for a second monitor but it will be a lot more trouble than its worth. Or you could use something like this from your new card:

Tony it's a VGA to Display Port.
Bananamann didn't deem it needed to post specs as I asked so we don't know if a Display Port is available.

The website looked all Greek to me. Another poster who wanted a quick fix without providing enough information.......:banghead:Tony it's a VGA to Display Port.

I`m sorry but is this not your card ?
I see 2 dvi ports on it.
So why wouldn`t 2 dvi to vga adapters and 2 vga cables work ?
You just need the proper dvi to vga adapters for each dvi connection.

Only one will support analog video regardless of the adapter.

Gary is correct, the card would have to have 2 DVI-I connectors to run 2 vga monitors. 
I`m holding an older PNY Verto PCI-Express card ( 6600 GT ) and it has 2 DVI-I connectors on it.
My 9600 GT`s even have 2 DVI-I connectors on them, but they are old too.
But going back to your original question, as already stated, I think you would need 2 identical cards ( not in cross fire ) and you could connect a monitor to each. I`ve done it with 2 9600 GT`s. But then you are not taking advantage of the speed of 1 card in 1 slot. You just need to get a newer monitor to use with the Asus card
Gary, I just noticed you said the same thing in Post #2 that I said in Post #31 LOL
