Is it possible my laptop has dual graphics cards?

Hi, and thanks for looking. I'm lazy, and don't want to figure whether it does or not. My laptop is a HP Pavilion dv7-1127cl. ATI Radeon HD 3200 Graphics. On the control center it shows two available. Does this mean theres two? I'd just like to be able to brag if there is. It would make sense, because it handles Crysis just wonderfully. Not on high settings or anything, but decent settings. Thanks for your time, and answers. Also, please no cheeky answers.

every laptop have duel video card output, one for the screen and one for the external display like a monitor or a tv. so don't brag that you have two video card, you only have one what can do two different things at the same time unlike desktop video card that only do one thing at a time. so don't brag and you have to be proud that you own one of the best gaming video card on the market right now.
