Thats a DVI input/output. If you've got 2 on the graphics card then yes you should be able to use dual screen.

You have a monitor with a DVI connection, you should get a DVI cable and enjoy better picture quality and sharpness.

Just the white, use the blue if you want to add a 2nd monitor.

Does it really make a huge difference?
I just looked and my graphics card and monitor have DVI inputs so if it will make a big difference I'll pick one up.

Check your monitor specs, it must have an optimum refresh rate. While you're at it, make sure you're running at native resolution.
