Yup, I was just going to recommend the 8800gtx. It really is stupid fast. And for around $600 USD, it's got some nice bang for the buck. Especially compared to any quadro.

And I agree with the directx10 comment. Or, I guess you can also buy a PPC based mac ;-)

Looking at the preliminary test results for the new nvidia 8800gtx I would be very tempted by that, even if its not quadro. Seems like a monster of a card, and will be interesting to find out how it performs with 3d apps, or non-windows software...

hope it helps,

Get a DirectX10 compliant chip, if possible.

Nvidia just announced a new 88xx something Geforce,
the Quadro should be available accordingly.
