I'm wanting to get a second monitor because of school and other things. I have an ATI Radeon 5450 HD graphics card hooked up to my 24" Acer monitor running a 1920x1080. The card has a DVI, HDMI, and VGA output and I am hoping I can hook up a second monitor and run at a relatively high resolution (at LEAST 1280x720)with no problems. I just wanted to make sure that the card can run it safely and smoothly and hopefully without any quality loss. If I have to get a better card in order to keep from losing quality then I just may because I really don't want any loss in the image/video quality.
So, is this possible? Tips suggestions? If you need any additional info, please let me know. Thanks in advance!
EDIT - Forgot to mention my uses. The second monitor will be for simple web pages, text files, occasional YouTube videos. No gaming or any sort of hardcore usage out of it.

450w PSU
AMD Phenom II X6 3.0ghz
