Can DV6-1352 Handle Long-Term Dual Monitors on the Graphics card

Question

Hey guys, 
Very simple question here. I wanted to set up a dual monitor thing on my Dv6-1352. I believe it has this integrated graphics chip : Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD. I wanted to use the dual monitor capabilities on it, but I was wondering if over time, extended use of the graphics card due to dual monitors would make it over heat/kill it. I don't plan on playing games, just using it cuz A) Its pretty cool B)It'd help increase efficiency in my engineering school work which requires I have a lot of things open at the same time. 
Thanks in advance!

Hi
The retail version of the 9600 comes with two DVI ports.
I think some companies were selling OEM versions with an ADC and DVI port that had been pulled from G5s and modified to work in G4s.
In a G5 both ports work fine but in a G4 I don't think the ADC port is powered. The Quicksilver does actually have the required internal power slot, but I think it's in a different position on the logic board. Consequently the power stub on the card which lines up with the slot in a G5 doesn't line up with the slot in a G4.
I think you can still use two monitors by using an ADC to DVI adapter cable. This would convert the unpowered ADC port into a second DVI port.
To connect two DVI monitors, you'd just need one ADC to DVI adapter cable.
To connect two ADC monitors, you'd need the above adapter plus two DVI to ADC adapters which are fairly expensive ($99 each).
To connect one DVI monitor and one ADC monitor, you'd need one ADC to DVI adapter cable and one DVI to ADC adapter.
The retail 9600 doesn't have an ADC port either, so either way you'd end up buying some form of adapter in order to use an ADC monitor.
I hope this helps.
