You're thinking of Dual LINK DVI. It's a different type of DVI cable that will do resolutions over 1920 x 1080. But to run 2 monitors you will need to cables.

With software you can have two monitors display one desktop...as in the taskbar will stretch across the monitor...like pairing two 1024x768 monitors for a 2048x768 desktop...yes its irelavent...

Yeahp thats exactly what a gpu with two dvi inputs will do...two different monitors...either mirrored or with an extended desktop etc
