I'm currently specing out a new desktop system for home. I'm not planning on a gaming or a cad system, but I do want a decent 3d graphics card. At this point, I'm looking only at NVidia, but I'm not excluding ATI or Intel. Some of the Quadros have 128-bit floating point, but I may not need that precision. What I do want is the ability to support some of the newer widescreen or HD monitors. While I have not done any real gaming in the past, I am bored with lack of 3d support on my current system, and I will be upgrading to a 64-bit dual or quad core system. The bottom line is that the GEForce is the consumer series where Quadro is the workstation or professional series. The GEForce I am looking at is the 8400GS 256MB. I think this card should meet my needs and the Quadro is probably an overkill. -- -- Jerry Feldman <[hidden email]> Boston Linux and Unix PGP key id: 537C5846 PGP Key fingerprint: 3D1B 8377 A3C0 A5F2 ECBB CA3B 4607 4319 537C 5846 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
