Hey all. Planning to switch from PC to Mac and going to get a MacBook Pro soon. Here's what I'd like to do.

I'd like to set up my MacBook Pro at the office so that I can use two 20" monitors (like these from Dell: The Dell Online Store: Build Your System) and an external keyboard and mouse. (I wouldn't be using the screen on the laptop at all.) I'd like to be able to drag applications across screens, etc.

I know the MacBook Pro supports dual screens in terms of the laptop screen plus one external monitor. However, I'm not sure how I would accomplish the above and whether I need extra software to do it. Anyone know the answer?
