Just about to order a hidef telly and was just wondering if it would be possible to output to the telly as an extended desktop on my single Geforce 6800GT 256meg graphics card?

The telly has DVI and HDMI connections, and currently my monitor only uses the VGA output. Would I be able to keep my monitor on the VGA connection and extend my desktop onto the telly using the DVI connector?

Would be cool and very handy as they'd almost be sitting side by side. Cheers!
 
Excellent, thanks. The dragging windows thing is all I really want, just to be able to move videos across and play them on the big screen whilst the PC is running. I wouldn't expect my 6800gt to cope with 2 displays in a game so thats cool.

Cheers. :)
