Default OD NO Fluorescents

I've got an advanced ballast that's rated at 1.3 amps, can I use this and run two NO actinics and overdrive them?.. how would I hook them up to do that? Or should I just go with one VHO actinic.

Thanks Steve, I appreciate the comment. I haven't seen HO Actinics though, so I guess I'm just sticking with NO.
