2 external VGA monitors to extend a late 2009 iMac display?

I have a 27 inch iMac (Late 2009), and I have 2 external displays that use VGA. Right now I have one of those displays extending my desktop using a Mini Displayport to VGA adapter, but I would like to use the second external display as an extention as well. Is this possible, and if so what are my options? I did purchase a cheap VGA splitter, but that just allows me to "Mirror" the second external display whereas I'd like to extend the imac display to a third screen.

Thanks in advance!

iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.5), Late 2009 27"

Hi,

To get a third independant Display you need something like this...

Gotcha. Thank you. So just to be clear, the setup will be thr first external monitor hooked up using my current Mini Displayport to VGA adapter, and then the second external display hooked up using a USB port to that device to VGA? And that should allow me to use both monitors as an extention correct?
