Wasn't aware until now that the Quardro is slower than gaming cards.  May have to re-look at the option of the Video card....

Thanks for the info on the plugs too.

The Quadro is optimized for things that you will probably never use. I has a small amount of cuda cores compared to the newer gaming cards as well.

Quadro 4000 is a 256 bit card, with 256 CUDA cores. Clocked a 475 mhz, costs about 750 right now.

Geforce GTX 580 Fermi is a 384 bit card, with 512 CUDA cores, Clocked at 850 mhz, and is about 675 right now.

For what you will be using it for, the Geforce will smoke the Quadro, it has a wider memory channel, 2 times the cuda cores, and is clocked almost twice as fast.
