I would go with a nvidia GL card if the OS is linux, otherwise directx seems to work well with Geforce cards and they are cheaper in the long run. I would like to see nvidia Gefore SLI setup see if you get any boost. I'm guessing not right now.

Hi folks,
finally my trusty old Athlon MP 2,0+ system is giving out. So I decided to get a Dual Opteron 246 on Tyan K8WE, 4G DDR RAM. But the question is what graphics board am I gonna get? I was thinking either a ATI FireGL 5100 or a PNY QuadroFX 540? Anyone got any other idea? What the deal with softmodding a normal Geforce? I briefly looked at the relevant threads on the board, but did not find anything on the performance of the ATI. Thanks for your help!
