Does this card really support Dual-DVI?

I'm looking to upgrade a system for an AutoCAD user here at my work, and I came across this card. He wants to run a dual-monitor setup, and while this card says it supports that, it doesn't actually list having 2 DVI ports. And I can't find a picture of the card anywhere. Can anyone tell me?

Diamond x800XL 256MB AGP

(wouldn't be so hard if this was a PCI-e system =\ )
 
It also says that it has dual-monitor support, that's the part that is confusing me.
 
what's confusing? it does support dual monitors, but one is via vga and one is dvi

Yes, and it can with 1 VGA and 1 DVI, or 2 VGA (using a DVI to VGA adapter). But not dual DVI.
 
Only the x1000-series cards have dual-link DVI. That DVI port is the standard single, and should be fine for resolutions up to 1920x1200.

You can run dual monitors using both the VGA and DVI port on that card.

Then wouldn't the HDTV out be using the TV out port and the LCD hooked up to the DVI? My ATi 9800 Pro only had a single DVI with a single VGA, just like my x800XL did. My x1800XL has dual DVI's.
