E6400 with an external monitor as the main monitor?

I'm buying a E6400 really soon. I want to be sure of one thing though: will my external 20" Dell monitor (1680 X 1050) can be used as the main monitor and the E6400 monitor as the second monitor? Note that I want dual view, which means monitors are not clones, each has its own resolution, etc.

Can someone confirm this is possible with the intergrated Intel card? With the NVIDIA card?

Thanks in advance!

 

Shouldn't be a problem. I'll try tomorrow at home for 100% certainty and let you know.

 

Thanks so much! I want to be 100% sure before buying. Do you have the intel or NVIDIA card?

 

I do this daily, with nVidia card.

Cheers,
Stu

 

Thanks sakor1.

 

I know that Greg runs two big monitors off the Intel GPU.

I'm sure two monitors are possible. The question I was not not sure is if the external monitor can be the main one and the laptop monitor the second one, in a dual view mode.. I know some graphic cards that don't let you do that on a laptop!

 

sakor1 said it's possible with the nVidia card, But what about the integrated Intel one? Someone can help me on this one?

 

I wonder if I can power two 24's with the intel card. :S

 

I am able to do this without any problems on the intel gpu.
