Why Quadro if you can Quad?

The more core -> more power in rendering...

Soon by the way there is a GREAT prizedrop of Q6600 ( 180$ ) , Q6700 ( 220$ expected).

From my X2 4200+ i can only dream what it's like cause with a bit OC it will be 4-5 times faster :D

@ angora,

the 256 mb is another downgrade of 8800. I suggest you take the GTX since that is still the way to go ( prize/power ).

I just don't see ANY meaning going for the 9000er series at moment.

This new DX10.1 must be another Microsoft joke!
