I'm 3-boxing, play with a friend who dual-boxes so we run 5 in total.

Main screen is a 22" widescreen, the other is a 19" normal, I have it in portrait and split in 2 (1024x640 x2)

I can't recall the MB spec, but any that has enough PCI E slots will do it. The main issue to watch out for, once you have the hardware chosen, is space.. make sure the MB is set out to allow for 2 PCI-E cards with large cooling systems, they both take up 2 slots effectively, but the MB is laid out with a PCI-E at the top, then a PCI, and another PCI-E, the PCI in the middle has to be empty in my case, the 8800 is just too big...

Other than that, as long as the main card can handle what you want, the second one can be as craptastic as you like
My 8500 is actualy pretty decent and could run 3 WoWs on it's own, but if I throw a single instance of WoW on each I get quite alot of FPS loss, not sure why (it's not due to dualview/span etc)

The other issue is of course heat, 2 cards is twice the heat... My 8500 has passive cooling, so no fan (also alot quiter ofc) and I've had to leave the side panel off for long sessions as it overheats, been meaning to add another fan which will solve the issue, just too lazy atm
