I plugged in my 20 inch that was in the main card into the second card. Then I spent 30 mins trying to get the settings right in ati's control pannel. I couldnt get them setup right so I went back to the 24 and 20 in 1st card 20 in second. I dont know what the deal is but it would not setup my screens to pass the mouse to each. One monitor was just there and you couldnt access it via the mouse. I will try again but after this last wintersgrasp lag fest I am about ready to bite the bullet and buy a new pc. I cant take this choppy play any longer.

I was reading up on the 4870 1gig ddr5 cards. I dont want to waste the money on two 4870x2 cards. Another option would be to get the 4850's. Would changing my desktop res on the 24inch to a lower setting help? I have it at the 1920x 1200 now.
yeah i actually wasn't paying enough attention to your monitor/resolution setup. the desktop res on the 24 inch shouldn't matter, but what res are you playing wow at? try putting all 5 windows on your main monitor with a low resolution and see what your fps is
