You want to have the output from your computer be able to go to either a monitor OR a TV with a manual switch? That's what is sounds like and I just want to make sure.
For that you would need a VGA Splitter somewhat like this one. You could also use a simple cable splitter like this but the quality would probably suck for any decent resolution, like higher than 1024x768.
Yep, you talked me off the HDMI ledge.
I think I was overthinking this possibly, as looking at her desktop resolution right now....she's 1024x768, and I'm sure it's because of her eyesight. It looks very unnatural to me. While I would want her to be able to achieve more 'natural' resolutions w/her new CPU....

Two of these (if I would have known, I would have grabbed two of these from my office and saved her $12!!!!)

I'll just connect all of this up, get her some el cheapo speakers or let her use the internal speakers in the desktop, and be done w/it. That way she can extend it if she wanna, or she can duplicate it.
What is your CPU? Check is it compatible with the VGA spitters. Something like the following cable should help.

Anyway, can't you just get a splitter?

This is an external video card and will allow you to connect an additional monitor (or two) to your computer via USB.
You can also use this vga splitter

which may work. It should mirror two monitors.
