yes - AE and PP will use the 4000 for CUDA. 

the other config with dual nVida GPU's you should run both monitors on one card. I'd probably use the 4000 for displays and the 570 for pure CUDA in AE, but the other way around for PP as the 4000 has ( should have ) faster output to the PCIe bus.

What if you run the quadro 4000 headless? And then use the ATI 5770 to drive 2 monitors? Same deal?

After Effects will use all available cores on all cards. The RAM, per card, will be equal to the smallest of the two cards (so if one has 1GB, and one has 2GB, both cards will use 1GB).

Premiere behaves differently but someone else will have to chime in with the details.

How do the adobe apps choose what to use?
I have a quadro 4000 attached to monitor 1
and also a gtx 570 attached to monitor 2
How does the adobe app choose which is the card to use?
I looked but it is not clear.
