I'm interested in getting the Asus p5e-v HDMI, and I was wondering if it is possible to use my 7900GT and the onboard hdmi ports at the same time. Being able to use the 4 VGA ports would be nice too.

Is this possible?

Usually the installation of a dedicated graphics adapter automatically disables any on-board video functions.  This isn't always the case, but is most of the time.  I would go to the Asus site and download the User's Guide.  It should tell you what will happen if a dedicated video card is installed.

Yer, but is it possible to use the onboard ports as ports for the graphics card? Like, I want to connect my TV to the 7900 via the onboard hdmi ports.

I'm 90% sure you can't do that.

Truth.

No.
The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP
