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
