Default Vista ult 64..dual boot

Ok here is the problem. I have Vista Ult. 64x on my new computer. I work in the video editing/music comp. world(and some gameing...)in Hollywood. I have Adobe Master collection CS3 which I have yet to try. I have Sony Acid Pro 6 which I have tried, but am unsure that it is working completely(it seems somethings might be shut off, but it is a new program, and I am just learning it so it maybe my lack of knowlegde). I have Cakewalk Sonar, Project 5, and Dimensions(all LE), and they are only partly working(no 64x drivers, only 32bit..No plans by Cakewalk to make any 64 bit frivers soon. Great Customer Servive) Native insturments Kompackt. Which seem to also be only 32 bit(also no drivers in the near future for 64). I have had no other problems with Vista(unless you count I can't get my work down). Here is my computer

CPU Q6600(GO step...but I dont know how to OC, and not sure I would if I did..scary)
Asus X-38 Maximus Formula Motherboard
Gskill DDR2-1000(5-5-5-15)8GB(2X2GBx4)F2-8000CL5D(which I would OC a little if I knew how)
EVGA 8800 GTS(G92) 512(with Crysis..which I dont play, anyone want to buy it..never used)no plans on SLI(yea I know Crossfire)
2x150GB Raptors RAID 0
1x500GB WD internal(7200rpm)HD
1X500GB WD external(7200rpm)HD
Vista Ult. 64x(I also have an unopened XP Pro 64x OEM from neoegg..over the 15day return)

Here is the question 1. I was thinking of Dual Booting my system. Getting XP Pro 32x(drops gb down to 3gb I think?), and reinstalling Vista 64. I am unsure if I should break the RAID or not. I am not sure if I should get rid of Vista all together, and put in both32 and 64 XP Pros.

Now I know this is not the correct forum for this, but can someone tell me how to transfer, and in the future put things like Photos, music, WAV files(for the music production programs which have as mucg as 80 GB of files each, and get larger every week by 3-10GB)onto one of the other Hard Drives..The Internal 500 or External 500. The 300GB Raptors are getting full fast(since Vista seems to have taken 60GB to install!!!Can that be right? Before I installed anything my 300GB drive had only 224 GBs left. I figure 20 gb for formatting since that what it seems to be on both of the 500GB ones).

So thanks for any help...
