Yea! Part of it is not driven necessarily by performance, but also from a 
durability aspect - so I'm told! Now, I have warned these guys about my 
experience with Quadro cards in the past -most that I've owned have overheated 
and died by now. But, they think they know graphics hardware best and they 
control the budget!  You should have seen the argument I had over CPUs. They 
gave me a P4 and I said I need a Duel Core! I eventually won that battle, but 
it was a big pain and wasted time!
