So, to set up dual monitors, do I need a VGA to DVI converter?
I have a tower with 1 dvi slot and 1 vga slot.
I bought a splitter cable but soon found out that I would get a duplicate of what was on my first screen to my second screen.
I want it so I can have it extended; like where I move the mouse to the right and it goes between the monitors.
Can anyone tell me how to do this?

[TomTheGeek²]

yes. i used to do this with an old CRT monitor with the adapter.

it was stupid cause 4:3 and 16:9 don't mix, but i do it now and it's nice

You need to have 2 different cables running from the card. So you'll need the dvi cable running to the one monitor. Have an adapter turn the vga into a dvi to the other. Or just use vga on the other one. In the vga vs. dvi vs. hdmi debate there isn't really a huge difference from what I've read online. It really won't matter for you since you won't be split screening games most likely, and if you use one monitor just for say like a messenger or browser it will just be fine.

If I have one monitor using VGA and the other DVI, will that work?
My dad told me that if one is VGA, they'll both be VGA no matter what.

Your dad is wrong, I used to use 1 dvi 1 hdmi. Now with 3 monitors I'm using 2 dvi and 1 hdmi. You'll be fine.
