Nvidia Quadro vs. GEForce

["Jerry Feldman-2" <user=4@nabble.blu.org>]

 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.
