can anyone reccomend what they would add / change to the default config on the current mac pros?

I'm going to be doing less editing, but more motion graphics work.
 
Get more RAM.
The sweet spot of price / performance without too much maths for RAM = 1 GB per Core.
Keep the ATi grfx, as it still outperforms all nVidia's ATM in Core Image, unless the just released Mac OS X 10.5.5 update / nVidia driver update has some serious magic in there...
And try to figure out how much HD space will be needed. I assume the default 320 GB drive won't last you too long. But the Mac Pro has 3 extra S-ATA drive bays for you to play around with! :)
