Will This Work? Calling out All Dual-Screen Setup Owners!

    I want to make dual screen setup, got a question if such an config will work.
    I have Laptop which have the normal VGA output and as well the HDMI output.

    Currently I have one 21.6' with only vga and which is already plugged in to vga output . But I want to buy another Monitor 24' and have dual-screen - the one which I'm planing to buy got hdmi support as well.

    So I suppose I can do like this: put the old monitor together with vga output and the new with hdmi .

    My question is: Will such an setup work and I won't need to buy any other hardware(converter or whatever) to run this setup?

    If that makes any difference.
    laptop: Acer aspire 6920g
    and 9500m as for video card.

    I'm running dual monitors and one has the old style cable. I have a converter that sits on the end and they both work fine.
