X800XT PE => Dual screen & vivo?

I'm just wondering if it's possible to use both monitors (one VGA and one DVI->VGA; I'm using CRT monitors xD) and video-in or video-out at the same time without damaging my card? I thought I read somewhere the card would get overloaded that way, but I can't find that article anymore. 🙁 So yeah, what do you say?
 
Huh? Of course you can use them simultaneously. The questions that pop up here just amaze me sometimes.

You might want to note that there are still only two RAMDACs on the card; if you are using both monitor outputs, the only way to use the video-out is to have it mirror one of the other displays.
 
Yeah, that was what I was referring to. xD Because of the limited number of RAMDACs I wasn't sure what would happen exactly. 😛 Not that it'd explode or anything, but I don't like taking risks with my expensive X800XT PE. 😉

And just to clarify things, I'm not a newbie or something. I do know quite a lot about computers and stuff. I'm just not very familiar with the technology on graphics cards. 😛
