both NV and ATI have always tried to segment "professional graphics"
into a higher-margin market. this involves tying the pro drivers to features found only in the pro cards.

True, although, as far as I remember, the only real distinction between Quadro and GeForce cards are hardware support for antialiased lines which
is present in the former (I could be wrong though, and there may be some
more substantial differences)...

The Quadro cards above a certain level (280 NVS or 580 NVS, I think - I never could keep track of model 3's) could do hardware stereo 3D graphics, which the Computational Chem/Molecular Modeling folks love, a d happily pay extra for it. The other nvidia model lines do not have this capability.
