Two connectors on the video card (dual head) is to allow the use of dual monitors. One is probably the standard VGA connection (blue) and the other is a DVI connector (white or beige).

Essentially the same answer. It's dual monitor capable. If you have 2 monitors, you can make the appropriate adjustments in the Windows display properties.
