A new system and I need help from experts.

[JJMJZM]

I hope this is the right spot since I could not find another forum that had Falcon Northwest of Velocity Micro.
I am trying to pick between a Falcon Northwest with 2 Gig of Ram, X6800 CPU, ATI X1900XT, 150 Gig Raptor Hard drive and a Velocity Micro with 4 Gig of Ram, X6800 CPU, ATI X1900XTX + X1900 Crossfire, 2 - 750 Gig Seagate Hard drives in Raid 0, 1 - 150 Gig Raptor Hard drive. Both systems could be configured with nVidia card(s) also since both offer the AsusP5N32-SLI-SE motherboard. I will be using the system for work (Photoshop CS2, Video Editing, etc) and play (some games). I need to know if anyone has any dealings with Falcon Northwest or Velocity Micro that might help in recommending one company over the other. I have heard that Microsoft Vista will not support/allow more than one video card since it will not allow them to talk to each other. If this is true then what cards do you recommend. Should I go with only one card like the ATI X1900 or the nVida 7950? I also would like to know if there is any video cards that say that they can be upgraded to Direct X10 or do you just junk them and buy new? If you do then what would be your recommend card(s) if wanted Direct X10 when it came out.
Thanks from this newbie

Suggested Changes:

Mobo: Gigabyte GA-965P-DQ6

RAM: OCZ Gold 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR2-800 <--- 4GB is a no-no in XP. Get 2GB for now, then upgrade to 4GB later once you make the move to Vista.

Hard Drives: RAID the Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 320GB instead. Either 2 or 4... your choice.

Video Card: Crossfire and SLI don't benefit the user unless the screen resolution involved is 1600 x 1200 or higher. IMO.... don't waste your time or money. I would actually wait for DX 10 cards anyway. Go for an eVGA Geforce 7600GT for now, and move to DX 10 once those cards show up.
