2007WFP, 2407WFP-HC, 8800GTS 640

Hi,
I have a year old 2007 WFP, and have just gotten a new 2407 WFP-HC. I was thinking of selling the 20", but I find myself wondering if my BFG 8800 GTS OC2 640MB can easily drive these two screens.
Or am I being hopelessly optimistic - I don't want the card running at full tilt during normal daily use. I won't be extending the desktop across both, btw.

Thanks.

Thanks for the response mate. before I hook them up, and find the gfx card labouring under the effort? That's pretty much what I mean - just hook them up and have a look, I hear you say? but I'm in transition between builds right now and its not as easy as all that. More of a pain than posting here I suppose

Is anyone actually running these two monitors on the same card?

in windows, even a geforce 4 would have no problem driving these screens.

In order to get all the vista aero effects. You'd need a 6200 or above. An 8800 will have no issues whatsoever.
