Er, no, it's not a Quadro. It's a generation before the last. Not top of the line, more somewhere towards the bottom. Nvidia calls it "mainstream", which means ... well, a bit of playing, a bit of film, a bit of office work. Nothing much. Here's a review at Beyond 3D, from when the card appeared. And one from Hardware Zone. "Cinematic computing for the masses," the latter says. A quick check discovered XpertVision FX 5200 in a shop for $57.99, and a ton of other 5200s in another shop for $69-$215. (Just enter FX 5200 in the box.) Of course, Australian. And you probably get a warranty, too. I'm far from certain whether I would change my GeForce 2 Ti 64MB for a 5200. FX 5900 would be another matter. :-)
