Re: dual monitor set up!
So, to clarify, you're running three monitors, one non-widescreen in the middle as your primary, with a widescreen on each side, yes? What are you wanting to do with the monitors that you're looking for software for? With the exception of a couple games (X2 is the only one I know of off the top of my head), without using some exotic software witchcraft, you cannot game on multiple monitors using a 4870.
EDIT:
Actually, come to think of it, the 4870 only has 2 outputs :facepalm: so I think I misunderstood your explanation of your monitors.

Re: dual monitor set up!
Windows & the Catalyst control centre is all you need to use the second monitor to extend your desktop. As x88x said, there are very few games which will make use of the second monitor. I personally run a 4870 on my desktop with 2 monitors attached but I've just added a 4350 which I'm going to use for the second and third monitors so the 4870 is only powering the one main screen
