Your setup is actually the one that I am hoping to emulate.

When you ran one PC with your two 3870 cards, did you run into the issues I stated above about using a secondary card?

You run two screens off a 4850, wouldn't an additional screen really hamper performance?
I had no problem running 2 lcd's off 1 card and 1 lcd off the other on one pc. What caused me upgrade to two pc's was the expansion. It required more power than BC. Right now I have two pc's. One runs 1 lcd the other runs 2 lcd. The 4850x2 has 4 DVI outs so you can run 4 LCD off 1 card. I would get that card instead of getting two. When you run other games on 1 LCD you can go in the ati panel and check crossfire so you have a 4850x2 crossfired for great fps game performance. Just make sure your case can fit the card. It's very long and my old case wouldnt fit it.
