9800 - 2nd monitor?

[tintino]

Im waiting for the arrival of my Asus 9800XT /TVD ($510 - hope its worth it)

My Question:

As i understand , the 9800's come with dvi out port, besides the regular vga out port. On Asus's 9800XT page (http://usa.asus.com/products/vga/r9800accessory/r9800accessory.htm) it sais it comes with a "DVI-to-2nd VGA adaptor".

So i guess i can use a second monitor with it.
But can i display different content on this 2nd monitor (hooked to DVI)?
Or will the 2nd monitor display same content as the first monitor (hooked to the VGA port on the 9800 card)?

the os is Windows XP pro.


(i know its not an overclocking question, but i read these forums a lot and hope to get an answer here)

also.. can i mount the "Multi-Video in/TV out adaptor " on the front of the PC somehow?

not sure about the mounting of the multi-video/tv out thing but I am using the 9500 with 2 displays.

I am using just the standard VGA connection with a anolgue/digital converter on one monitor. This I obviously connect to the DVI output on the card. The second is to the other port.

You have the choice in XP to set the monitors to "extend" your desktop in the display settings. R click on your desktop -> properties-> settings.
