Don't blow your money away at getting a Quadro FX cards yet. There are some "gaming" video cards that can be easily flashed into Quadro FX cards. Quadro's are mostly same as their gaming counter-part. For example, I know that certain 6600 series cards (ones with A1-A4 revision) will likely to flash to Quadro cards. A 6600 is around $100 at most, while a equivalent Quadro card would be $200+, you can save A TON of $$ if you can find the right card and flash it. This also goes for same with ATI's card and their FireGL series.
