Default Will this splitter work for 2 VGA monitors?

I ran across this
http://www.amazon.com/Monitor-Splitter-C...5192749?ie=UTF8

I have 2 monitors an older 17" samsung and an E machines 17" from last year.
instead of buying another video card would this serve as well to play 2 games of poker, 1 on each monitor(from Party or stars)?
I dislike shrinking tables(vision problems)
Is this splitter all I would need?
thanks

Sorry, that will just mirror your displays. You could use one of these:

Matrox DualHead2Go

But unless you're using a laptop, you would be better off ($-wise) just picking up a used/cheap dual-headed video card.

Unless you play 3D games, anything made within the last three years will work fine:
