Triple Display Output Possible?

I apologize if I'm in the wrong place with this question. I am trying to setup Sage to work with 3 video outputs and would like to know if this will work or if anybody has done something similar.
  • Video card 1, Output 1: Primary monitor
  • Video card 1, Output 2: Secondary monitor
  • Video card 2, s-video output: TV
I have a dual monitor setup where I would use the primary monitor for non-sage activities. The second monitor would be an extended desktop and would contain the Sage window and any other ancillary stuff. The s-video out on the second video card would/should be a mirror of the secondary monitor.

My ultimate goal here is to have a dual monitor setup in my office on which I can do my normal work and display Sage, and at the same time display sage in full screen on the TV in the living room.

Thanks,
Slmc

Theoretically, it would be possible, but I think you'd be jumping through a lot of hoops to make it work. I'd be concerned issues with horsepower in that setup.

Have you considered a MediaMVP for your living room? You could keep your dual monitor setup in your office, and use the MVP in the living room.
