Q: Dual external displays MacBook Pro

I have a 13-inch MacBook Pro Mid 2012 model and I want to try to connect it to two dual external monitors.  I have a firewire, thunderbolt, and two usb ports. 

 

All help is appreciated.  Thank you. 

MacBook Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11.6), !3-inch Mid 2012

A:

The thunderbolt port allows you to hook up to any monitor using adapters. To use a second external monitor, you can use USB to VGA or USB to DVI adapters. However, on graphic heavy software, there will be some lagging.

Hope this helps!
