Quick question about Radeon 8500...

[Shnak]

I'm about to go buy the card and I have a question:

Can I use my monitor and my TV simultaneously independantly? Suppose I want to watch a DVD movie on my TV, while continuing my work on my computer monitor... possible? Anyone has links explaining the difference combinations possible with the twin video output...

On a side note, should I expect problems when putting the Radeon 8500 in my system? ECSK7S5A, TBird 1.4GHz, Audigy, WinXP... my Kyro2 works flawlessly...

Thanks guys!

alright, after some digging, I've found this great review of the Radeon VE (which boosts the same multi-output features) and they say you can do any combinations you want (monitor/monitor, monitor/tv, monitor/lcd) which is pretty cool...

So, any hardware conflicts predictable with my system? ECS K7S5A, Athlon 1.4GHz, Audigy, WinXP Pro... ?

Thanks
