Dell checked for me. It's compatible and I have the power for it. They didn't have any available. I have two identical computers so I'm going to upgrade just one with the 4 gig card and compare the performance change. The numbers on the Passmark.com website say my current card is less than stellar.
Pheonixconstruction in post #25 of this thread has a nice system. He said his shaded renders onloy take 5 seconds. Mine typically take 30 to 40 seconds now. That's just too slow. Hopefully the video card helps. I'll have to wait till later this summer for a new computer with new CPU's to help with the Raytracing.
Looks like I pissed away a lot of money on these Quadro cards. The Geforce is much better bang for the buck.Edward Koenig - R.A.

Edward:
The Quadro's are suppose to be good for CAD systems like Autocad etc
Chief uses OpenGL
a few years ago CA started to recommend the Quadro's and I was thinking of getting one and then CA changed their recommendation
try selling the Quadro on EBAY
