basically i need an active mini display port -> dvi / vga, for use with my 6870.

long story short, will this work with my 6870 using a dvi -> vga adapter to use my seccond + third monitor?
 
its an xfx 6870 with two display ports and two DVI ports (only 1 dvi -> vga works) all 3 monitors are VGA

was looking on the list, im still lost :(

eventually im hoping to upgrade to a 7990 when they are realeased, but still wanted to see what eyefinity was like before then, so im guessing 2x mini display -> vga should future proof me somewhat (providing i kept my 3 current syncmasters)
 
would it be okay if i got 2x mini display -> active DVI, and used a DVI -> vga adapter (kinda future proofing incase i upgrade my monitors to something that only uses a DVI input) if so what kinda thing am i looking for, DVI-I im guessing?
