Video card and multiple monitors...

Graphics cards.....How can I tell if I can hook more than 1 monitor up to them? I really feel dumb that I can't figure this out.

ex.) I'm looking at getting:

EVGA 01G-P3-N895-A3 GeForce 9800 GX2 KO 1GB 512-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card

Yup, that's the one........is it the DVI portion that means 2 monitors can hook to it?

DVI, HDMI, even SLI I really don't know what these mean, been spending the last hour or 2 going around trying to find out, reading other posts, but not getting far w/o even a basic understanding of even these terms.

I know for alot of you guys this is pronbably pretty basic, but everything I'm reading is using acronyms(it seems) and strings of 3 letters to say stuff and I don't know what they all mean. (lol, I need a glossary.)

Thanks for answering though
