Yes DSub is the analog VGA connector, you are right.
As far as I know, onboard graphics systems on desktop motherboards rarely
(if ever) support dual monitor setups. They simply don't have the second VGA
connector. Some motherboards have additional HDMI outputs but as far as I
know they are not "dual head" that means no real dual monitor setup is
possible.
On the other hand almost all current VGA cards support dula monitor setup.
They have an analog and a digital connector or two digital connectors at the
rear panel.

That's right.
Please let me remind you on another possibility. If you purchase a Crossfire
or SLI type motherboard you can use two VGA cards which means you can use
four monitors!
