I am interested in doing something similiar and was considering the 5870, as an upgrade from my 4870x2.
For comparison I have a 4870x2 with a Q9550 CPU (2.86ghz Quad core Conroe) with 8gig of ram and am not really able to run 5 on the one box at 1920x1200 across 2 monitors.
Huh? Not able to run 5? The CPU should be more than enough to handle WoW, and the videocard is faster than my 8800GTX. Are you using an SSD to host WoW? That might be the answer to performance problems for you.

For reference, I'm using an i7-965EE, 12GB ram, 8800GTX, and WoW on a cheap 32GB SSD.. and I have no issues running 5x WoW instances across 2x 1920x1200 24" displays. I do plan on upgrading to the 5870 2GB version when available and adding a 3rd Dell 2408 1920x1200 display.
