hi, recently i find that Gainward "耕升" GF3 vedio cards have a smart jumper function, which allow user to switch it into a Quadro DCC card w/o any software modifition, and even GF3 Ti500 is only around $800 on the market now (if u can find Ti500)!! cheap cheap Quadro, buget users may consider using it!! ~_^
