While it's easy to say use config 1 because it uses the latest technology, being PCI Express and DDR2, which also gives you a good upgrade path, I feel you'll benefit more from Config 2. Right now, there's no performance benefit from PCI Express. DDR2 is actually a hinderance, as the latency is terrible. You'll also benefit with the 2gig of ram rather than the 1gig of DDR2.

I myself would go for an opteron system if I was doing 3d animation and cad work but...
Out of those 2 I would definatly go with Config 2. You will benifit from the extra ram. I think that wildcat will serve you well too.
