They'd use the same basic drivers, you would just have to update them to a newer version.

If the onboard video with that board is also an ATI and you get the HD4870 you can just pop the card in without trouble. Technically you wouldnt even have to update video drivers since it can recognize both integrated and the new card....

1280x1024 is pretty small now a days even for two monitors its not as taxing as it once was. Things start to get very CPU bound at those resolutions.

I like the current one, but failing that, I'd go with 4.
