6600gt Display HDTV & CRT?

I have a EVGA GeForce 6600gt and was wondering if I can plug my regular monitor into it and My Hdtv into it and have them both work. The back panel on the card has VGA,Svideo and DVI outputs.

Yep, all modern cards are dual head, they can control two output devices at once.

Very cool. I just built my first machine and now I am hungry to try lots of things. I'm not sure how it will ook on my HDTV but I am curious. We have a 54" so is that too much to try? I also have a HDTV 27" that I could try first I just want to see what it will look like. Am I way off base with this or are a lot of people doing this already. I 'm just thinking of sitting back on my couch or recliner with a wireless keyboard and mouse and surfing and playing games on the big screen. Is this even possible?

Hi. The size does not matter. All that matters is the resolution, and HDTV has a max. resolution of 1920x1080, no matter how big your TV is. It should look really good, as HDTVs prodive a sharp picture (unlike standard TVs).

What you want is possible. I've done that with a regular TV already. And HDTV is not really different. It has just a higher resolution, that's all.
