Has anyone tried dual monitors with the integrated video on Sandy Bridge CPUs?

In practise, the H67 seems to come with both DVI and HDMI - as well as VGA. It's clear as mud whether that allows concurrent DVI and HDMI, or just VGA + a single digital output.

But not all of the C2D chipset implementations support dual outputs from G31 and G41 onboard video chipsets. I'd be more surprised if the Sandy Bridge stuff did not at least handle two monitors.

Yes, after more searching I'm reasonably confident, but I'll be happier if I can find someone on the web who's actually done it. That is, connected one monitor to the DVI port and another to an HDMI (I don't have a Sandy Bridge box here right now).

Intel HD2000/3000 supports two displays only. How does it work that you can select any 2 of up to 4 ports: one analog and three digital? I would have expected the digital ports to be all wired together or paired somehow.
