Asus V7100/2VID and TV-out question. Edit: And can you play a DVD on one screen and have IE on the other?

[Noriaki]

Well the obvious first question is does it have TV-out?

I'm pretty sure I recall that it does, but is it S-Video only, or do they have a Composite/RCA adapter for it?

2nd question is, I know that the first monitor is standard VGA output, the 2nd monitor output is a DVI connector with a DVI to VGA adapter. Is the TV-out considered the first or 2nd monitor? (IE does it replace the DVI or the VGA)

Thanks guys (and gals)

Edit: And if I'm playing a DVD can I put it to the main monitor and have IE on the other (so I can post in the AT Forums while I watch my DVDs )

A lot depends on the type of DVD player. If it is a software driven DVD, then probably you don't have enough horsepower to do both at once. DVD is very demanding . . . especially with video RAM.

Yeah I know that, but just the princple I mean.
I actually intend to get a Hollywood+ sometime in the not to distant future.

ummm this is why Matrox has the DualHead Technology, their DVDMax mode allows for a DVD movie to be played through the TVout while the main display remains completely free for use... I don't think nVidia has this kind of Functionality... don't even think their "twin view" has that capability...
Many users have used this feature and have reported that "Light" webserfing or Msg'ing can be done easily without interupting the DVD movie...
This does require a pretty fast CPU, something in the range of 600-700Mhz atleast IMO...
