I am about to order the new mac pro. I use it with a two 30 inch displays. My main activities: editing in fcp , motion , after effects and vj ing with tactic pro , arkaos and U&I , i also plan to do 3d with cinema 4d in the future. Will the 2600 be enough? I plan to put in two 2600 s . But the options that are availalable make ,e doubt if this is the right choice. Any graphics card expert with a good advice? maybe someone here can give me some advice on which graphic card suits my needs. I am about to order the new mac pro.

My idea of an iPod is some custom firmware player by Cowon. My Mac Pro cost under $1,000, sits in a rackmount case, and is a Core 2 Duo with an 8800GTS that runs Modul8, I've been planning on doing dual-quad for a while now as well, there's just not much right now that utilizes all the cores.
