Hey Robert,

FWIW, I don't think it is worth dropping that kind of cash on a
"professional" graphics adapter. The industry changes so fast that
you'll get a lot more bang-for-buck dropping $300/year on a card instead
of $2k every 3 years or so (unless Mike is willing to buy you a new
Quadro each year :)

It would be nice if we could bench the Quadro/Geforce and FireGL/Radeon
cards in IDL. Each of these products pairs are based on the same
silicon. My suspicion is that the gain in performance over the
equivalent consumer cards in IDL is small (10-15%).

Take all of this with a shaker of salt. The last quadro I worked with
was based on the geforce 2 core. That being said, the way ATI and
nVidia market these products hasn't changed.

Give me a shout if you have any questions.
