Q on dual display video cards

A dual-monitor neophite question... Is this possible?

Windows XP Pro
Inexpensive PCI Express video card such as ASUS EN6200TC or whatever
Setup Windows for dual monitors but
Connect TV to Svideo out connector, setup for 800 x 600 or so.
Connect PC monitor to SVGA connector, setup for 1280 x 1024

Windows sees both displays.
Put Windows Desktop on the SVGA output as usual
I put a web browser or Sage on the desktop/monitor for the TV
I use the SVGA-connected monitor for other things.
The keyboard/mouse focus will track what I do, I understand.

Is this viable?
