uhhhh,  i am sure glad my motherboard has DVI and VGA.  I run my myth box
dual headed.  DVI for the 1080p mythfrontend and a 15 VGA LCD connected on
the other for playing music and admin work.  This way i dont have to power
on my Projector and waste expensive hours of use just to start amarok and
play some tunes!
