I don't own a 4870 but I want one for my HTPC. Can i use the HDMI (need the audio) and DVI connectors at the same time in clone mode with no problems?

I'd like to run the HDMI to my tv and leave the DVI hooked up to my LCD. Then I can play a video on my tv when I want, but still be at the desk if I want to game. Thanks
