Single or Dual CPU?

What mb(s)?
I am gonna go with atleast 1gb ddr 2100 ecc, maybe 2700.
Probably ATI AIW 9700 pro.
2x 200gb 8mb cache hdd
SB Live 5.1
DVD Rom
DVDR A05

This is going to be for a friend who had priced out a dually system for $4000+, I am going to try to get him the best, but at a good price. I think smp is going to be important b/c he will be running final cut pro. I just really don't know whats out as for mobos, and what cpu(s) get. and should he run smp?

respond quicky.

thanks,
mark
