Default Multiple Questions about Dual Monitoring

I've seen most of the answers to these questions in semi-similar posts but if I've learned anything about hardware it's to always ask, cause I've bought uncompatible things before working off of posts I thought were similar.

Basically, here's what I'd like to do. I play 4 tables at 1600x1200 on a 19" CRT right now. I'd like to switch to dual flat-panels playing 8 tables for the least possible cost, while still retaining high quality components. So here's my questions...

1) Is it possible? I have a Radeon X800XL 256MB video card, on an Athlon 3500+ with 1024MB of PC3200 Ram, will 8 tables plus PokerOffice run ok? Do I need ANY additional hardware with my dual monitors... adapters, second video card etc?

2) What do I need to buy? I assume I need 2 new monitors, since a sexy 20" flat screen won't go well with a 19" CRT. Is the Dell 2001fp still the only real choice when it comes to 8 tabling party skins? What is a good price to pay for the monitors I need and a good place to buy them?

3) If I play 4 of my tables on empire where should I play the other 4? I'd like rakeback and a party skin if possible. Is it really bad to play on 2 different party skin based accounts at the exact same time? Do they check for it? (Obviously playing 2 people on 1 table is a huge no-no).

Can't think of anything else, my only other real question is, other people who have done this are you happy with it? And mention any other potential snags I will hit. Thanks!
