Is it possible to set up two monitors with a macbook pro?
If so, how?

Thanks

If you mean two external monitors, not without the purchase of an external card.

Here's one.

And another.

Then just start searching google.

I'd try to find some reviews prior to purchase.

None of these products seem to have good reviews
Playing games and/or watching movies doesn't seem to work well with these products.
Is there a cord that splits 1 dvi into 2?

you can always attach one external monitor to the DVI port and use the MacBooks screen as the second monitor
