Can I get dual DVI output on one card?

Hi

Probably a stupid question (I'm good at those!) but...

I'm thinking of buying two 17" TFTs for my PC. I'll need a new graphics card
which supports 2 monitors. All the ones I can find seem for have one
analogue VGA port and one 'digital' DVI port. I plan to get TFTs with DVI
inputs so would like to run them both DVI rather than one DVI and one
VGA/analogue.

I realise that you can get 'dongles' to convert the DVI port to VGA d-type
(I guess the DVI socket has digital and analogue pins) but I am presuming
that the standard VGA dtype does not support digital.

Does this make any kind of sense....upshot is how do I run two TFTs via DVI
from one graphics card?

Thanks

DVI-I has both sets of signals--most video boards have DVI-I outputs.
